Paris police announced on Wednesday that they will be out in full force to prevent members of the “Convoi de la Liberté” protest from entering the city.
The protest, which is slated to take place on Friday, is said to have been inspired by the ongoing anti-restriction demonstrations in Canada , namely in Ottawa, where hundreds of trucks remain parked. According to the BBC, the protest has largely been organized online, and includes groups from across the political spectrum united in ending France’s COVID-19 restrictions. Some have already left their cities, en route for the capital.
Many have compared the Convoi de la Liberté to the Gilets Jaune. During the height of the Yellow Vest protests in 2018, people from across the country convened in Paris for weeks on end to voice their displeasure with a fuel tax that disproportionately impacted rural citizens. Even after the tax was repealed, however, protests continued, focusing instead on the government itself. Police in Paris reminded potential Convoi de la Liberté protestors that disturbances to public order will not be tolerated, and failure to comply will be met with harsh consequences. The penalty for “interfering with the roads,” for example, is a two year prison sentence, or a €4,500 fine.
Drivers who block the free flow of traffic also run the risk of having their licenses suspended. Police also noted that organizers of a prohibited event could face up to six months in prison and a €7,500 fine. Participants run the risk of being guilty of a “fourth class” violation. Further north in Belgium, Brussels’ mayor Philippe Close announced that his city would also be banning the “unauthorized” protests.
Members of the Convoi de la Liberté have shown no signs of backing down, despite warnings from the police and elected officials, thus it remains to be seen […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
