(Zero Hedge) The Yellow Vest anti-government movement started in France on November 17, when over 300,000 people across France protested a carbon tax on fuel that French President Emmanuel Macron touted as evidence of France’s leadership when it comes to mitigating climate change.

The Yellow Vest protests quickly evolved into a general anti-government movement – with hundreds of thousands of angry French citizens taking to the streets for ten straight weeks of mostly peaceful protests marked with pockets of violence, looting and mayhem.

What’s more – the movement has gone worldwide – with perhaps the most notable protests outside France taking place in Belgium, where Brussels riot cops have dealt with week after week of protesters blocking oil depot and throwing hard objects at them.

On December 8, Belgians attempted to breach a riot barricade while calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Charles Michel, resulting in around 100 arrests.

And while most of the protests outside of France happened last month, this is a good list to note where discontent is mounting.

  • Bulgaria: Yellow Vests began protesting the same weekend as the French movement – coming out in force on November 16 to protest in front of parliament and demand the resignation of the government.
  • Canada: Yellow Vest protests have taken place in more than a dozen cities across Canada – largely campaigning against the carbon price, Canada’s participation in the UN’s Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, the Trudeau administration and other issues.
  • Croatia: Croatians came out in force on December 15, gathering in Ban Jelacic Square.
  • Egypt: An Egyptian A lawyer was arrested and jailed for 15 days after he posted a picture of himself wearing a Yellow Vest in support of the French protests.
  • Finland: Finns came out in force in mid-December as well, gathering in front of Parliament in opposition to the UN’s Global Migration pact.
  • Germany: Marching in solidarity with the French, German Yellow Vests similarly came out against the UN migration pact.
  • Iraq: Yellow Vests demonstrated in Basra, Iraq on December 5 to protest poor job opportunities among other things. They were reportedly fired upon with live ammunition by police.

  • Italy: There have been several ongoing Yellow Vest protests in Italy over the last several months, with some protesting the government’s hard-line stance against illegal migrants, and other pro-government activists protesting against the EU. In January, Italy’s ruling government came out in support of the Yellow Vest movement, which AFP noted was “extremely rare for European leaders to back anti-government protesters in a fellow member state.”
  • Netherlands: The Dutch joined the party at the beginning of December, blocking roads, roundabouts and tollbooths.
  • Pakistan: Hundreds of engineers came out in December to protest government services and pay.

  • Poland: Polish Yellow Vests protested in November and December, blocking the A2 motorway outside of Warsaw, demanding compensation for pigs they were required to slaughter, as well as the import of unlabeled Ukrainian agricultural products.

  • Portugal: On 21 December 2018, a “Coletes Amarelos” or “Yellow Vest” rally was held under the slogan “Vamos Parar Portugal”, roughly translating to “Let’s Bring Portugal to a Halt”.

  • Russia: Yellow Vests protested right before Christmas in Moscow’s Hyde Park against increased parking fees. “I’m a driver with 20 years of experience, and I can understand that the authorities want to free the city and make it accessible to pedestrians,” said resident Tamara Papuashvili, adding ” it’s just a disgrace. You can use the metro, but there are more and more people there, it just cannot cope.”

  • Serbia: Civil rights organisation “Združena akcija Krov nad glavom” began using yellow vests in its protests to show solidarity with the French protesters, as well as opposition to high fuel prices. Serbians have protested for six weeks in a row.
  • Taiwan: The Tax and Legal Reform League which has been protesting against high taxes since 2016 organized a yellow vest march on December 19.

  • Tunisia: A derivative group, the Gilets Rouges (Red Vests), called for protests over the ailing economy.

  • United Kingdom: UK Yellow Vests are mostly right wing, pro-Brexit groups who have held rallies in London and other UK cities.

Conspicuously absent from the list? The United States.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The Yellow Vest movement, despite concerns that is itself yet another populist revolution sponsored by the Deep State, is still a rallying point for those who recognize corruption and want to take an active role in changing the status quo. The preceding article provides hope in that it reveals the desire for change sweeping the planet. But a desire for change doesn’t automatically result in a change in the right direction. Those with wisdom and temperance need to step up to help guide this energy of change into a truly just, prosperous, and law upholding effort.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].

    Hi Justin,

    Thanks for your articles and your constant determination during these chaotic times.

    I was just wondering if you knew about the situation happening in Zimbabwe?
    People are protesting against higher fuel prices and sometimes being shot by police… or people wearing police uniforms.

    I live in South Africa where double standards are rife and the isms are used to divide the nation. It’s tiring to experience this negative growth, my whole life I’ve watched the political in-fighting and no change. This is sad, because from an average persons viewpoint, this country has a lot of wealth… loving people… and well skilled people (who usually leave the country)
    And the rhetoric we hear is always the opposite.

    Apartheid never ended, it just morphed. Plus, it was never about colour or race but rather power!
    Dare I say, that before the apartheid era, this country was actually doing something quite wonderful.
    Which an over arching fascist system would not tolerate.

    Here we are, living in a country where the super rich are urging us as a nation to work together. Whilst corruption and state expenditure rise.
    Not to mention all the expenditure on renaming streets and cities, State funerals and cake!

    Anyway, that is my rant.
    Hope you get to see the articles as I could not paste the link in here.

    Thanks =)
