Tonight I got to have a date night with my wife. We went to see The Martian and then grabbed some sandwiches from Jimmy John’s after the show. The biggest threat of the evening was the possibly alcohol-related drift of the motorist in front of us as we drove home.
In Missoula we are far removed from the consequences of American foreign policy. We have oceans between us and the terrorists our allies are arming.
Europe, on the other hand, has borders, and France’s is closed after the well-coordinated massacre that erupted in Paris earlier this evening, as diners dined and concert goers rocked out to Eagles of Death Metal, a concert where over a hundred people have been reportedly killed.
President Hollande has issued a state of emergency. After the Charlie Hebdo attack in January of this year, there has already been increased security measures. I wonder, though, what the security situation will be like for the neighborhoods where immigrants reside. There is already reports of a fire in a refugee camp:
Fire has reportedly broken out at the ‘jungle’ refugee camp in the port of Calais in the hours following the terror attacks in Paris.
At around 11pm volunteers at the camp began sharing pictures of the blaze on social media.
And soon after an anti-migrant group known as ‘The Angry of Calais’ posted videos of the inferno on Facebook.
One video appears to show emergency services vehicles arriving at the camp, which houses around around 6,000 migrants – mainly young men from Syria and North Africa.
What has happened tonight in Paris is a direct result of America’s failing and increasingly desperate foreign policy. Russia’s intervention in Syria has totally changed the dynamics of reality on the ground, but you would have to be a conspiracy theorist to note the convenience of what tonight’s tragedy will accomplish: eclipse the gains Russia has made against “ISIS” while stoking European xenophobia against immigrants and refugees crossing borders, trying to survive.
A lot of people died tonight and it’s horrible. An estimated 250,000 people have died in Syria. Half a million could die from famine in Yemen. Those numbers are the result of Obama’s foreign policy. And those numbers will rise no matter who gets elected president next year.
Tonight, as I see Facebook and Twitter collectively react, I think wouldn’t it be great if between tragedies more people would actually pay closer attention to what’s happening in the world, day by day.
Today is Friday, the 13th of November. Tomorrow the next atrocious layer will start settling over us. I don’t have much bandwidth left to keep tabs.
Other than just being sad that things will escalate.

You’re right, why fight them over there when we can fight them in our own malls and theaters.
Wouldn’t arms dealers and their bankers make way more money if we did both? Just sayin’.
Interesting to note the degree of thought control prevalent in our society: to be gullible and accept everything we are told by our government and state-sponsored news is to be intelligent, even a “critical thinker” as Pogie, I kid you not referred to himself as after behaving this way.
The impact of terrorist attacks is meant to be immediate. Since the Syrian government is not insane and does not have a death wish, they did not sponsor it. Why provoke and invite attack on yourself?
Cui bono? You guessed it. A huge clue is given in Hollande immediately identifying a Syrian as an attacker. I guess the Chechens took the night off as patsies.
Forgive me father for I have sinned, again. Thought crime.
Facts can be useful. Cause and effect. Fuck the EU, indeed! Read ’em and weep.
“Hollande’s response to Europe’s biggest refugee crisis since World War II by increasing the bombing of the very place from which the refugees are fleeing…”

“Brzezinski even wrote that, “Let it be said right away that supranationality should not be confused with world government. Even if it were desirable, mankind is not remotely ready for world government, and the American people certainly do not want it.” Instead, Brzezinski argues, America must be central in constructing a system of global governance, “in shaping a world that is defined less by the fiction of state sovereignty and more by the reality of expanding and politically regulated interdependence.”[11] In other words, not ‘global government’ but ‘global governance’, which is simply a rhetorical ploy, as ‘global governance’ – no matter how overlapping, sporadic and desultory it presents itself, is in fact a key step and necessary transition in the moves toward an actual global government.”
“Thus, from the point of view of the global oligarchy, the only method of imposing order and control – on this unique and historical human condition – is through the organized chaos of economic crises, war, and the rapid expansion and institutionalization of a global scientific dictatorship. Our hope is their fear; and our greatest fear is their only hope.” – By Andrew Gavin Marshall, Global Research, June 24, 2010

Oh man, they “discovered” a Syrian passport near the body of one of the supposed suicide bombers. It’s such an old trick, and so transparent! but damned it it doesn’t work every time.
I am so ashamed of my fellow humans. So incredibly easy to fool, they hardly even try these days … Syrian passport … My ass.
From ZeroHedge:
“There’s a sucker born every minute” — as true today as it was in the 19th century.
Deadliest attack against France in past half-century: Muslims.
Deadliest attack against Spain in past half-century: Muslims.

Deadliest attack against USA in past half-century: Muslims.
I’m sure it has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam.
hussein obama “the future will not belong to those who slander mohamed”
maybe US corporations should stop selling weapons to state sponsors of terrorism, like Saudi Arabia.
Would you include Russia and China too?
Deadliest attack against Iraq in the last 50 years: christians

Notice any connection? There’s more… lots more.
So our troops are now religious warriors? On a par with ISIS?
I dunno, you tell me:
Is this fake too?
“SINONE, Iraq — The Islamic State claimed responsibility on Saturday for the catastrophic attacks in the French capital, calling them “the first of the storm” and mocking France as a “capital of prostitution and obscenity,” according to statements released in multiple languages on one of the terror group’s encrypted messaging accounts.
The remarks came in a communiqué published in Arabic, English and French on the Islamic State’s account on Telegram, a messaging platform, and then distributed via its supporters on Twitter, according to a transcript provided by the SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks jihadist propaganda.
An earlier statement was released but was deemed unlikely to be authentic because of anomalies in the language, as well as an error in a date provided, according to experts on jihadist propaganda.

Jesus, Swede, someday you’ll be on the cover of Mad Magaizne. In answer to your question, yes, of course it is fake.
A syllogism: CIA invented ISIS > ISIS claims responsibility > CIA is responsible.
They’re pretty good role players. They scream “aloha snack bar” right before they blow themselves up.

If you choose not to use your brain, are we wrong to question that you have one?
“Should ISIS’ supply lines be cut in the north, the organization’s otherwise inexplicable fighting capacity will atrophy. The window for the West’s “regime change” opportunity is quickly closing, and perhaps in a last ditch effort, France has jammed the spilled blood and broken bodies of its own citizens beneath the window to prevent it from closing for good.
The reality is that France knew the “Charlie Hebo” attackers, they knew beforehand those involved in the most recent Paris attack, and they likely know of more waiting for their own opportunity to strike. With this knowledge, they stood by and did nothing. What’s more, it appears that instead of keeping France safe, the French government has chosen to use this knowledge as a weapon in and of itself against the perception of its own people, to advance its geopolitical agenda abroad.” http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2015/11/confirmed-french-government-knew.html#more
You guys buy into conspiracy theories too quick – LOL
And JC – show me a connection where Christian Fundamentalists go around terrorizing civilian populations, murdering them, and then committing suicide. The problem is ISLAM, and sooner or later we’ll have to kill all the jihadists as a matter of survival.
Blind following and unquestioning belief are quite the opposite of intelligence.
Open your eyes. See a pattern? http://www.stripes.com/news/special-reports/suicide-in-the-military
No, I don’t see a pattern, or correlation. To see a pattern, you would have to see a squad of well-armed Christian Fundamentalists carrying out coordinated military-type attacks on civilians, then all of them killing themselves because they believe that they earned their reward in heaven Show me a link to something like that.
Montana has one of the highest suicide rates in the country, maybe there’s a conspiracy here too – Ha Ha.
I suppose this is pointless, but Eric, we don’t know what happened over there. We only know what is shown to us in news, and in the US, that is basically six outlets all sounding alike. So we don’t know if there were suicude bombs, just bombs set off, or I’d the whole thing, like Boston, is fake.
This much is certain: Finding a Syrian passport intact from a suicide bomber is so unlikely that it screams of planted evidence. And planted evidence screams of a false flag attack.
You don’t r ad much and so would not be familiar with the methodology of false flag events, but to assume as you did right here that they are a mass suicide is unsupported by any evidence. All we know at this point is what news tells us, and that is, usually, a lie. Like 9/11, it will take years to arrive at the truth of this event.
Eric, look at the image I posted above to Swede. Don Rumsfeld’s daily briefing to Bush was full of christian fundamentalist propaganda. And Bush is probably the largest fundamentalist christian war criminal in the 21st century. Here’s another image just for you:
The Iraq Body Count (most conservative estimate) is about 120,000 civilians (including women and children) dead in Iraq. Other estimates run upwards of a half million to a million dead in Iraq.
And for what? Bush’s revenge against an attempted assassination on his father? Blood oil? Stupidity? Fundamentalist christian insurrection? Or “F”, all of the above?
Some Christian soldiers praying. Big deal. Here’s some Muslim American Soldiers in a war zone worshiping.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJFttwN_DUE
Any Christian soldiers with ISIS?
You just don’t get what it means when the Defense Secretary, on a daily basis, hands the president the daily briefing, which has a cover that is nothing more than fundamentalist christian brainwashing. Rumsfeld and his successors handed Bush one of these every day for 8 years, each with a different photo and scripture. They did it because they knew that he would succumb to their will out of christian guilt.
If that isn’t whack fundy christianity, then I don’t know what is. And so it seems that what you are saying is that our christian jihad is better than muslim jihad because we might have a couple token muslims in the service? Tell that to all the innocent muslim civilians we have killed.
Here’s another:
Swede, I did not see soldiers handing out candy to children in that clip, but nonetheless, I think it is military propaganda. There is, after all, a whole branch of the Pentagon that does nothing but psychological operations.
After all, and stop and think about this, these men are part of an invasion force that is occupying a country by force and killing its inhabitants and protecting and supervising the harvest of the poppy crops to feed into the world drug pipeline. That they have a little place to worship is kind of immaterial.
Well, the CIA and/or its operatives are also getting in the opium trade money stream to divert major $$’s to whatever pet project the cabal wants funded. Like
al-Qaedamoderate Syrian “rebels”.USAF is not loaded with fundis? The AF Academy in C. Springs is so over the top even the MSM couldn’t hide it anymore.
False flag from the Jews, Mark.
“Sunday opinion piece in the official Palestinian Authority daily al-Hayat al-Jadida blamed Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency for Friday’s deadly terror attacks in Paris, suggesting they were orchestrated in order to undermine new European moves promoting a two-state solution and providing for the clear labeling of produce from Israeli West Bank settlements.”-Times of Israel.
As I’ve said many times, Swede, you need a broad perspective.You don’t have it. Your little snippets and YouTubes mean nothing.
