Illusion Warfare Report 3:
🇫🇷Vive Le L.A.R.P🇫🇷
Are the streets of Paris really 🔥ablaze with Riots and Protest?
-Join me as I take a quick trip over to the French capital to ‘sneak a peak’ behind the curtains of another MANUFACTURED & ENGINEERED WORLD STAGE EVENT.
I arrive 10am.
23/3/2023. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Over the past week, the media (the alt media mainly) have been in implying that Paris is a city in ruins with night after night of chaos.
Looking out the window of the train heading into the city centre, outskirts appears normal.
Cars driving around, people out and about etc…
PROPS!
Paris does have piles of RUBBISH everywhere.
The Waste Collection Union are on strike at the same time the French government announces pension reforms that trigger protests.
-Very convenient! (Engineered IMO)
There are burnable props available on every street corner.
Gets myself a news paper with date (for all the naysayers that will claim I’m not actually here).
I see demonstrators heading towards their meet up point.
The usual stuff, banners, flags, holding up traffic… another day in the office for the French.
ALWAYS on the look out for Saboteurs, Agent Provocateurs and Undercover Operatives.
These ‘out of place’ characters were there as observers/protection IMO, if the LARP got out of hand
You see how ‘Green Shoes’ suddenly ran to where the politician were and started tying his 👟. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
I meet some professional COSPLAY PRESS in a coffee shop complete with helmets and masks.
Me personally, I’d never wear Body Armour, Helmet, Gas Mask etc in any place, I believe that invites the situation to happen.
Ps… they were really nice people.
The Demonstration meet up point is ‘Place De La Bastille’, some of the Metro Lines are also on strike so I take the long walk.
Lots of trash (we know why) lots of Police/Ambulances driving around with sirens (to be expected in a big city).
Other than that, regular life goes on twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Place De La Bastille.
Sound systems, DJ’s, Hype men/women pumping up the crowd.
It’s a well organised event.
Like a festival/Carnival
Now I gotta feeling the folks who set this up are the folks there supposedly protesting against. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The Police did NOT join the demonstration (iv heard these ridiculous alt media rumours from folks not even in Paris) they did their jobs and cleared the path ahead.
The Demonstration went down a straight road towards ‘Place De La Concorde’. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
I decided to head to the end point, check out the place where I assumed ‘Rioting’🎬🎥 would take place…
Place De La Concord. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
ACTION!! Finally.
Blue ‘Police’ Vans move into position (Theres a lot of them).
Reminder: The Police Vans escorting the ‘Civil Protest’ were white. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The vans were all parked up, they were waiting.
I picked a cafe slightly round the corner so I could be ready to follow if they moved in.
There is the odd emergency vehicle activity, but nothing major.
Show Time!!
The convoy moves in. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
That’s a lot of Vehicles… but where’s all the actual Riot Police?
Each vehicle can carry 8-12 personnel.
Bang💥Boom…
Il tell you where they are, they’re behind this line on a FILM-SET, where regular folks and citizens journalists are not aloud to go.
Vehicles blasting sirens circle the perimeter to create the FULLY IMERSIVE EXPERIENCE.
I take a different route, I try to circle around the block to get closer.
Lights, Camera… ACTION 🎬🎥.
I assume there is staged and fake rioting happening on the FILM-SET.
-I can’t see anything tho. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
A lot of theatrics, but there’s nothing really going on. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Crowd MANAGEMENT.
The crowd is pushed from one zone into another, there’s no violence whatsoever.
Those Riot Costumes on Motorbikes seem to be the ring masters for this CIRCUS. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Herding the Public.
These are (mostly 👀) everyday Parisians who have been out for dinner or on day shopping trips being obstructed from going home the easiest way.
Now being forced in to PARTICIPATING.
Compressed into a large crowd. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Come take a walk in the fully immersive 4D Paris ILLUSION Riot Experience.
Complete with trash, smouldering trash and if your lucky… some real flaming 🔥🔥 trash.
Then the penny drops. The centre of the FILM-SET is the OPERA HOUSE🎭
(I don’t know this at the time of filming)
Crowd participation is key. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
They clear the area of civilians, set alight the rubbish, then the Fire Fighters put out the fire (mostly)….
-big and theatrical for the 🎥🎬 of course.
They rapidly move onto the next street allowing the public to walk through the aftermath… to give them a ‘real’ experience. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The Crowd is mostly regular folks trying to get out or get to their hotels.
There are some young kids turning up for the action.
-And of course the TikTok Army are out in force.
When I say ‘We Are All Participating’ the crowd stops and looks, cue the Twilight Zone music.
Best theme park experience ever.
The Paris 🇫🇷OPERA 🎭 house is the centre of the FILM-SET.
Beyond this blockade is where all the staged fighting is happening.
-They want us to film the THEATRICS.
The TikTok War, PARIS 23/3/23.
A big part of these ILLUSION-Ops is getting the TikTok’ers to take on the role of Citizens Journalist aka OSINT (Open Source Intel).
The problem is.. they will often create situations themselves for the ‘Likes & Shares’ addiction is Social Media. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Nothing is happening.
Iv been in these situations enough times to know you ain’t getting on the Primary Film Set and the staged action is over done real quick anyways.
I head off, Pedestrians still aren’t aloud down certain streets forcing them to enter the ILLUSION Zone. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
I check into a close by hotel, grab some food then head back out.. The SHOWS OVER at this point.
I check out the ridiculous and outrageous claims flooding Social media, that Paris is besieged and burning to the ground.
