Anti-Tax Revolt Spreads in France

French riot police fired tear gas at hundreds of anti-tax demonstrators in northwest France on Saturday after protesters pelted them and tried to drive a tractor through a barricade, an AFP photographer said.
One demonstrator was arrested in Jugon-les-Lacs, a commune in the Cotes-d’Armor region where some 700 people had gathered earlier in the day.
A security camera was torched and some protesters pelted police, who responded with tear gas.
Demonstrators chanted slogans against France’s Socialist government, which earlier this month suspended the application of the so-called ecotax.
“People struggle to pay their bills at the end of the month, and now we’re going to ecotax them,” said one protester, pretending to strangle himself.
US SUPREME COURT RULES OBAMACARE MANDATE SURVIVES AS A TAX
Supreme Court upholds individual mandate, ObamaCare survives
Published June 28, 2012 | FoxNews.com
The Supreme Court has upheld the centerpiece of President Obama's health care overhaul, in effect allowing the law to survive.
In a 5-4 decision unveiled Thursday, the court ruled as constitutional the so-called individual mandate requiring most Americans to obtain health insurance starting in 2014.
The ruling is a victory for the president, ensuring for now that his signature domestic policy achievement remains mostly intact. It also ensures that the law will play a prominent role in the general election campaign, as Republican candidate Mitt Romney vows to repeal the law if elected.
After the ruling, Obama said the Supreme Court's decision was a victory for the American people.
(CNN 11/08/13) -- More than 100 people were killed in a major Philippine coastal city that took the brunt of Super Typhoon Haiyan, authorities said Saturday.
That death toll in Tacloban was the first significant casualty report in a day when authorities began surveying the devastation of a typhoon that has been described as perhaps the strongest storm ever to make landfall in recorded history.
The airport terminal was "completely destroyed," and shell-shocked Filipinos were gathering around the airport with the anticipation that the military was bringing food, water and medicine, Hancocks said.
Officials told her that the water surge reached the second story of structures, she said. There were at least two bodies at the airport, she added.
Every tree was flattened or snapped in half, and the timber landed on roads, blocking transportation, she said.
"You assume as you go inland you'll find more people who are injured or who have lost their lives," Hancocks said.
From the plane, she said, "you could see a lot of groundwater on the land itself, and pretty much every single tree was damaged.
"That showed the sheer force of the surge and the wind," she said. "On the ocean front, you can see the defenses were damaged."
Residents waded through waist-high water in the streets Saturday. Vehicles were turned over or piled on one another. Fallen utility poles were in the middle of roads.
Philippine officials feared the death toll would grow.
The destruction is expected to be catastrophic. Storm clouds covered the entire Philippines, stretching 1,120 miles -- equal to a distance between Florida and Canada. The deadly wind field, or tropical storm force winds, covered an area the size of Montana or Germany.
The typhoon first roared onto the country's eastern island of Samar at 4:30 a.m. Friday, flooding streets and knocking out power and communications in many areas of the region of Eastern Visayas, and then continued its march, barreling into five other Philippine islands.
Then, predawn Saturday, it headed toward Vietnam.
Haiyan weakened Saturday and was no longer a super typhoon, rather a typhoon with sustained winds of 130 mph. But the storm could return to super typhoon status Saturday. The center of Haiyan will land again Sunday morning near the Vietnamese cities of Da Nang and Hue.
While delivering 195 mph winds with gusts reaching even 235 mph, Haiyan first landed near Dulag and Tacloban, flooding those coastal communities with a surge of water rising 40 to 50 feet, said CNN's Chad Myers.
Tacloban is the largest city in the Eastern Visayan Islands and was an important Allied logistical base during World War II, even serving as a temporary capital of the Philippines. But on Saturday, Tacloban was considered as among the areas worst hit by Haiyan, and authorities and relief agencies had no immediate information about its condition.
For purposes of comparison, Super Typhoon Haiyan packed a wallop on Philippine structures 3.5 times more forceful than the United States's Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which directly or indirectly killed 1,833 people and was the costliest hurricane in U.S. history at $108 billion, Myers said.
The Philippine Coast Guard reported 3,398 people were stranded on multiple watercraft early Saturday morning.
Winds unlike any other
After the storm passed over his family's home in Cebu City, Chris Ducker told CNN by phone Saturday that his family was safe, but "it's been quite a harrowing day to say the least." Part of his roof was ripped off, leaking water, he said.
When Haiyan hit Cebu City on Friday morning, it awakened Ducker.
"I've never experienced winds like this in my entire existence. I've lived in this country for 13 years and I've been through a few earthquakes, I've been through plenty of these storms. We get hit quite regularly with storms, as you probably already know. But, yes, this was something else. The rain, when I looked out of the window, the rain wasn't falling. The rain was being pushed almost at, you know, a 100-degree angle right in front of our house. It was pretty incredible," he added.
The town of Santa Fe in Cebu saw 20% to 30% of its residents losing their houses, but officials weren't able to determine fatalities because roads were washed out and phone service was down, information officer Marvin Camay said on the province's Facebook page.
Now notice the similarity of the history of major water damages and tax revolts with ISON passing near the Earth:
Here is a history of Comet ISON (2013 A.D.), also called Comet Kirch (1680 A.D.), and also called Comet Negra (1347 A.D.)
15 A.D. Comet Appears
Caesar Augustus Census is issued for the taxation of Syria and Judaea. This would lead to a tax revolt led by Judas of Galilee, as well as a subtle and covert revolt against the Roman occupation and the Jewish clerics who support the occupation. John the Baptist would also be noted as one of the primary protester leaders with many followers after this comet passed. Roman occupation of Judaea will eventually get worned down, but after many deaths of those suspected to be Christians.
348 A.D. Comet Appears
The Catholic Church begins its persecution against pagans. The Council of Carthage issued penalty of "forfeiture" of property (i.e. confiscation of property) by the Catholic Church for violations of virginity, usury, and self-chosen martyrdom (with penalty of exile after property was taken). From 350 A.D. to 360 A.D., Constantius II would order the death penalty to anyone involved in pagan rituals involving sacrifices or worship of idols. Julian the Apostate would reinstate some pagan practices and liberties (mostly to Christians) from 361 A.D. to 375 A.D., before Emperor Gratian would return to property confiscation and death of anyone suspected of involvement with paganism or hedonism.
681 A.D. Comet Appears
Calculated to be the approximate year with a major change in the Earth's rotation speed. Four earthquakes hit Japan, and five more took place in 682 A.D. with a "rain of ashes" (with massive land damage and many deaths of people and farm animals). Approximate date of collapse of Mayan civilization in the Guatamala region of Central America, possibly by massive hurricane or tsunami overwhelming the Mayan towns. Armenians, Albanians, and Iberians rise in rebellion against Caliphate.
1014 A.D. Comet Appears
Brian Bora and Gaelic Irish rise in rebellion against the Vikings, and defeat them and drive them out of Ireland (Brian Bora would die in battle). Aethelred the Unready reclaims the throne of England, and a major tsunami and sea flood hits England and overwhelms many towns with many people dying on September 28, 1014 A.D.
1347 A.D. Comet Appears (called "Comet Negra")
Massive revolt against taxes and levies for agriculture goods and and clothing in France and Italy. The beginning of "The Black Death" or "The Black Plague;" this Asian acquired plague would wipe out 50% of the European population in the next 100 years.
1680 A.D. Comet Appears (called "Comet Kirch")
Revolt of Pueblo Indians against Spain in New Mexico. Led by Pope`, 400 Spanish settlers and 21 Spanish missionaries would die. Also calculated date for a major earthquake involving the San Andreas faultline on the U.S. west coast. Tax revolts in Gorinchem and Terschelling. Great Plague of Vienna. King Louis XIV would be blackmailed by Jesuit priest Pere La Chaise in 1681 (after his Catholic confession of an affair with a family member) with an order from the church to murder the Huguenot (protestant) population of France. An estimated 500,000 Huguenots died, and approximately 150,000 managed to escape (in 1685).
2013 A.D. Comet Appears (called "Comet ISON")
Tax revolt against Obama Administration and French republic regarding tax exempt status for organizations, personal income taxes, and mandatory health insurance purchase, as well as tax penalties for failing to purchase such (with providers raising rates to reported unaffordable levels). Revolt from U.S. and Middle Eastern citizens regarding foreign and domestic policies. Major tsunami hits the Philippines.

...And who might you be Drekx?? Sitting up behind your computer telling people how to go about spending THEIR time in a "FREE will" Universe like you know exactly what her life contract is!! For all you know FW might be doing exactly what is being asked of her, pointing people in a certain direction.
What exactly constitutes "REAL WORLD SERVICE"? Is doing what you're doing considered "real world service"? So far you don't approve of obama, you spend a lot of your time tarnishing a man whom I don't know if you're aware, HAS an higher self which is a perfect Saint and he is merely an aspect of this perfect Saint. You tell FW in 2 sentences that she has an "addiction AND obsession"......man you've got some sirius control issues!!
Remove the log from your own eye before removing the splinter from anothers!!
Can you explain how Feather Winger? I have been feeling so sad with bouts of sobbing and thinking "there is so much suffering in the world". I don't want to go out, I have to force myself to get up and do things. yesterday I just sat in front of the tv not really watching just thinking.......
Why did it disintegrated? Why did it brightness increased before disintegrating? could it have been nuked?
Feather Winger: I remember I majored in history in high school. (What a BORING course). The whole thing just NEVER MADE SENSE TO ME. It just seemed like a PATCHWORK QUIT MISHMASH. Labeling Patriots terrorists for a long time now? Do you know how long? The police - VIOLENT? They KILLED over 500 people with TAZERS, and a lot of them were HANDCUFFED at the time! They BEAT UP dead people! They PEPPER SPRAY innocents! Oh, it's getting SCARY! We are on a very SLIPPERY SLOPE! They like to dress like LITTLE DARTH VADERS. Do they even TEACH "history" in school anymore? (Heard they're phasing it out),
Malcolm: In France, what were the protestors pelting the police with? Eggs? In SOME COUNTRIES they throw SHOES and TOMATOES. I think maybe we should "liven up" our protests here with some egg or tomato throwing so show our true DISGUST. I think this would pack more "punch".
Tar and feathering was what American colonists did to British tax collectors. The Boston Massacre took place after some boys mixed rocks and snow into an easy to throw ball, and pelted British soldiers with such. The difference is the media. If this were to happen today, the citizens would be labeled as tea-party terrorists.
Funny thing is (not so funny), is that in some schools they are teaching that the boston tea party were terrorists. Indoctrination at work for future control and labeling. In other words, they are teaching in schools that any type of protesting is a terrorist act.
Sam Dolin: Yes, they are teaching that the Patriots were terrorists. They are also teaching the police the same thing. (Yes, they teach you what they want to teach you - rewritten "history" in the making, a la 1984).
INCREDIBLE!!
