It’s worth a thought – a revolution without a drop of blood, a shot, any forms of arms and not even a mass gathering or peaceful march on Parliament. Then how I hear you ask. Well according to our well-loved french sage Eric Cantona nothing could be simpler or more powerful. In a recent interview now viewed widely on youtube Eric suggests a novel yet ultimately effective and poignant way for the French to draw the attention of their unfeeling and uncaring President Sarkozy. He suggests that people should quietly go to their bank and withdraw all their cash. He reckons that this may be the best way to get the establishments attention by bringing down the banks who are at the heart of the system and he may just have a point. The only language that the politocrats understand is money and plenty of it for themselves. At a time when Sarkozys pushing through crushing reforms of the average pension he is currently due to net at least a cool €18,000 a month (and rising) from the state when he decides to retire. He has absolutely no concept of the reality of everyday existence for most of his “subjects” yet he expects them to always pay the price. Remember how having gained the presidency he immediately gave himself a huge pay rise. Is it just a case of “Well I’m alright Jack!”? – I think so. Maybe Eric has got a point. Maybe we should all take ownership of our cash so the banks can no longer use it for their own profiteering ends. Maybe it’s about time they realised enough is enough and maybe it’s about time real people took back control of their own destiny.
Vive Eric, Vive La Révolution!!

Ps.What do the French do with all this money? – probably what they’ve always done when a crisis looms they buy Gold coins to preserve the value of their wealth. Their favourite is the beloved Napoleon and there are signs recently that these are in high demand and the prices are rising. Their rationale is that Gold has and always will see them through the hard times because it has always been the reference we use to value currencies or when they fail commodities.

Transcription and translation
Nantes 8th October 2010

I don’t believe that we can …. I don’t believe that we can be completely happy when we see poverty all around us. Or we’re living in a cocoon, sealed off from everything … but there is a possibility and something we can do Well, it annoys me a little that there going … oh it doesn’t really annoy me at all Today it’s important to defend ourselves
But today to go out into the streets, what’s that? Today to go out protesting in the streets – what’s that? They turn everything back against you.
Today it’s no longer the way we have to do things.
It’s great to speak of Revolution and taking up arms but you can’t go around killing people

The revolution is really simple to make. The System , what’s the System’s , the System’s built around the Banks …The System is built on the banks
So if you want to destroy the System you do it by taking down the banks
So instead of 3 Million people being in the street waving their thingys, these 3 million people should go to their bank and take their money out, then the banks collapse!

3 Million, 10 Million, 10 Million People, everyone, and then there’s a true threat, and then there’s a true revolution, a revolution should be against the banks, it’s not complicated. Instead of going on the street and doing kilometres in the car to get there, go to the bank, in your village and take your money out – and if loads of people take their money out the banks collapse – no weapons no blood nothing at all, just like Spadgeri (a guy who robbed a large bank through the tunnels one night), it’s not complicated , and then, they’re going have to listen to us differently, Unions… you have to help them with ideas sometimes!!!!
