The French riots are spreading to other European countries, and the pro-migration transnational elites are desperate to point fingers anywhere but where much of the responsibility belongs. 

They use the "one screen, two movies" narrative-control method: you see the same events from two entirely different perspectives, one of which is heavily edited. 

It's impossible to hide the actual facts, since people are getting hurt and killed, and precious cultural artifacts are being burned to cinders. So what the media and the leaders have done is redefine what is happening in a way that is friendly to their narrative. The protests are student-led and based on real grievances that are, believe it or not, Trump's fault, but the rioters are far-left activists who have nothing to do with Islamism in the least. 

I'm shocked they didn't include white supremacists in there somewhere. No doubt somebody is working on it. 

The fact that the riots are spreading across Europe, and that the unifying flag is the Palestinian one, gives the lie to the idea that this is about conditions in France's already well-funded schools; Greta Thunberg, Miss Palestine, doesn't show up in a keffiyeh to demonstrate for better classrooms in Saint Denis, especially since her whole shtick was skipping school. 

Emmanuel Macron gave a speech to the nation condemning the riots, praising the student protesters whose grievances he attributed to Donald Trump's Iran war, and laying the blame on "delinquents" and his far-left opponents. 

He completely left out the largest and most visible group of rioters, who are waving the Palestinian flag in cities across Europe: the Islamist migrants who are lighting the fires. And while the police are releasing arrest numbers, they have been very careful to avoid saying WHO they are arresting, which is telling. 

But there are plenty of "tells" that Macron and the transnationalists are quite well aware of the role that Muslims are playing in the riots, and that they are misleading people about the "Green" part of the Red-Green alliance that plays such a prominent role in the riots: he calls the rioters 'Frenchmen', in much the same way you keep on hearing foreigners and illegal aliens being referred to by euphemisms like "Maryland man."

You don't do that unless you want to leave a false impression. 

Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen. 

I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn.

And I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country.

The graffiti and flags tell the tale, though, much more than what the news chyron, narrations, and political speeches do. The rioters are waving Palestinian flags, leaving "Free Palestine" tags everywhere, and the communists are out in full force along with their Muslim allies. 

Another tell? Macron is heading to the Middle East under the guise of begging for more oil to lower the cost of living, as if he could move the needle even a millimeter. More likely, he will be begging Arab leaders for help in calming the riots, which also seems a fool's errand. 

I expect him to use the opportunity to hit Israel hard to prove his street cred with the rioters. 

If Macron or the other pro-migration leaders admitted the truth, it would utterly destroy them. Marine Le Pen is already strong in the polls, and the populist backlash against the chaos is gaining steam across Europe. The AfD is rising, and the hated Eastern European anti-migrant countries are looking good right now. 

For more than a week, we have seen increasingly disturbing images from France and elsewhere in Europe: burning town halls, looted shops and brutal violence.

What has been portrayed as “student protests” increasingly resembles scenes from a civil war.

Behind the mob, there is an uncanny alliance: well-organised left-wing extremists and political Islam. Two movements that could hardly be more different - but united in their rejection of our free and open society.

Both are enemies of the Enlightenment. The far left likes to present itself as its guardian. Yet it marches side by side with those who reject freedom of speech and everything a liberal society stands for.

Beyond the violence itself, what is most shocking is the unwillingness to acknowledge what is happening, or even the apparent attempt to conceal the truth by many.

The violence we are witnessing has nothing to do with legitimate student protest. To me, these scenes reflect the consequences of nearly two decades of failed migration policy.

Unless we change course immediately, we risk seeing the same scenes soon in Berlin, Vienna and Munich.

For years, Hungary and other Central European countries have faced harsh criticism from their Western European neighbours over their approach to migration. Today, Budapest, Warsaw and Prague stand out as islands of calm.

Eastern European countries have rejected the twin pillars of chaos in the West: radical socialists/communists and Islamists. 

None of the establishment parties in the West will admit they were right, so they project that second movie onto the screen, hoping people buy the Narrative™. "Mostly peaceful" students, and a few unspecified troublemakers, made angry by price increases caused by Donald Trump. 

It's worked for years, but I doubt it will continue for much longer. The Narrative™ is convincing fewer and fewer people, and nothing clarifies more than a fire burning your city down. As the Left and the Islamists edge closer and closer to a civil war, the transnationalists will get squeezed out, and the radical left and the anti-migrant right will keep getting stronger. 

The great irony, although not one I applaud, is that the likeliest outcome will be the one the transnationalists claim to abhor: the rise of authoritarianism backed by a populace that is fed up. Unless the migrants are now a large enough class to prevent it. In that case, you will get something far worse. 

Either way, the post-war liberal order is being burned down. And it is entirely the fault of the EU/WEF crowd choosing to replace their populations.
