Paris is under attack, again. Normally I dont like to post world media events but this one grabbed my attention.
At least 60 killed in Paris terror attacks, 100 taken hostage.
A series of explosions and shootings killed at least 60 people in Paris Friday night in the worst acts of violence to hit France since World War II.
The seemingly-coordinated attacks took place at multiple locations in the French capital, including a café and a stadium where a soccer game was interrupted by an apparent suicide bombing, sending the crowd pouring onto the pitch. Eyewitnesses claim that the assailants carried Kalashnikov rifles.
Some 100 hostages are reportedly being held at the Bataclan theater, where Californian rock band Eagles of Death Metal were performing Friday.
Reports of gunfire and ongoing killings within the theater were followed by a police assault on the building at about 6:30 p.m., reported by eyewitnesses posting to Twitter and other online media. Agence France-Presse confirmed the assault—and the fact the venue may have had more than 1,000 people in it for the concert.
At least two attackers at Bataclan were killed, according to local TV station BFMTV. The police operation was concluded at about 7 p.m., according to reports.
Julian Pearce, speaking to CNN, says he escaped the building earlier in the evening and described it as a "bloodbath." Pearce said that the hostage-takers were not wearing masks, and that he saw at least 20 bodies in the building.
There were further reports of gunfire at a food market near the center of town.
French President Francois Hollande declared a state of emergency in the capital and throughout the Île-de-France and said that the crimes taking place would be stopped. The attack, he said, represented a terrible hardship and said that his thoughts were with the victims and their families.
He also closed the French borders, an unprecedented measure in modern Europe. On twitter, he said that France would defeat the terrorists: "Faced with dread, our nation knows to defend himself, knows to mobilize its forces and, once again, will defeat terrorists."

Terrorists take 100 hostages at Eagles of Death Metal concert in Paris
Music venue Bataclan was among four venues targeted during coordinated terrorist attack.
The city of Paris was stricken by a series of terrorist attacks on Friday night. The latest reports have at least 60 dead and many more injured.
Among the targets was the music venue Bataclan, where Eagles of Death Metal were performing a sold-out concert this evening. Police believe terrorists are holding 100 hostages inside the venue.
According to CNN, witnesses from inside the venue say there are between six to eight attackers, who are currently engaged in a shootout with police.
Eagles of Death Metal is the collaboration between Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age. Homme did not join the band for their European tour, however.
Update – 4:50 p.m. CT: As BrooklynVegan points out, the French band Red Lemons posted an update to Facebook saying they were outside the venue with the members of Eagles of Death Metal when the attack took place. “They’re safe,” Red Lemons’ Facebook page said. “They took a cab.” The mother of EODM drummer Julian Dorio confirmed as much to Washington Post, though she added the whereabouts of several crew members are unknown.
Update – 5:05 p.m. CT: Hostages from Bataclan told CNN that “terrorists calmly executed hostages, reloaded, executed again in silence.”
Update – 5:30 p.m. CT: Deftones, who were set to perform three consecutive nights at Bataclan beginning tomorrow, are safe and accounted for, according to Substream Magazine.
Update – 5:50 p.m. CT: Eagles of Death Metal wrote on Facebook, “We are still currently trying to determine the safety and whereabouts of all our band and crew. Our thoughts are with all of the people involved in this tragic situation.”
Update – 6:00 p.m. CT: According to Reuters, police stormed the Bataclan, killing two terrorists. The operation is “over.”

I just saw a good interview with one fellow who was inside one of the rooms where they were shooting people...here is a bit of it...
the full interview is here.. https://www.rt.com/shows/sophieco/322796-france-terrorist-attacks-i...
SS: How many were there altogether? Because we hear there were three guys shooting downstairs, are these the same guys up there?
PJ: Yeah.
SS: Ok.
PJ: Apparently, for me, their voices were between 25 years old, 35 - I don’t know their age, because I didn’t look at the TV since, but their boss said…
SS: In French?
PJ: In French, of course, to the free hostages - one woman, her boyfriend and another guy - “Why are you crying? Why are you crying?” And the guy said: “Because I’m scared” He said - “You don’t have to be scared, you will be dead in few minutes, so don’t worry”. And this is horrible. Because, what can you do? You want to hold the girl, and if you go to hold the girl, they will kill the others and you too.
SS: Did they kill him?
PJ: This girl just stopped crying, instantly, and after, they said: “It’s because of Francois Hollande” - our president - “because he attacks our countries”.
SS: Syria? Iraq?
PJ: Syria and Iraq, yeah, and he says: “when you kill terrorist, you kill innocent people, so you are bad. Now, today, we kill innocent people, so you feel the same thing that we feel in those countries”.
It was good what he said at the end, too...
SS: Do you see the world differently now? Do you see life differently? I mean, I don’t know what I would… I mean, I feel like life will never be the same, but I cannot even compare myself to you, because I wasn’t there. I can only imagine what it must be like, living after this. I mean, I would probably suspect everyone around me to be a terrorist.
PJ: I don’t know if that’s right word in English - I’m forcing myself...
SS: Yeah, “I force myself.”
PJ: ...To smile and to say: “this is a good person, this is a good person, this a good person” - and I would love to say to you, to the technicals and to everybody just “I love you”. You’re beautiful with your smile. I’m sure you’ve got kids and they’re so innocent and they can smile, so everybody is just beautiful, so when I’m in the street, I’m scared, but I’m sure one day it will be the same thing.
SS: You think it will happen again?
PJ: Oh yeah, of course. Before, when I was outside, I’m not going to lie, if I was with someone wearing maybe the typical radical muslim thing with beard like this - before, I was scared, because of the judgment. I said: “He may be like them” - and this is the beginning of the end. The judgement is the beginning of the end. And I say, I don’t have to do that, I’m not a monster, I’m not going to play the same game that Islamists do. I’m going to say to everybody that I love them. Of course, I’m going to be ready, because some people are dangerous, of course, like everywhere in the world, but I’m sure if you’re so positive and all those things - you can give an energy, good vibration to everybody. I’m sure it can be something good, and I’m sure we can change a world like this.
So, The Paris bombings were in retaliation for the French bombing of Syria ( Iraq and Libya) since September and all the civilian casualties this caused. The only question is who is financing them.....guess we know the answer to this one, too
Hi Feather, thanks for your recent insights again. It must be financed by the invisible bankers, the Rothschilds, Rockerfellers, JP Morgan etc and all their criminal friends on Wall street, I bet it runs deep and dark. London is the worlds financial capital, and all those corporate scumbags are all connected to all the other scumbags in Washington and and all over the world, its a tyranical network, just like a spiders web and the spider (Elite Cabal) is in the middle. What is ludicrous is that nations keep bombing other countries and those who orchestrate it also know that there will be implications, retaliations by guys on the ground, people with AK47s, (who would never be able to face the sheer military might of Russia, America, France, or any other Country) but thats all part of the plan, its war games played out by old men in suits, and equally strange old women in bed with those old men, at the expense of innocent lives. Having said that, I heard that one "witness" who saw the Paris killers, identifed them as being well build, white guys with no masks, who apparently looked like weightlifters and who carried out the Cafe shootings in Paris with trained, military like precision.
So Paris was the target of terrorism twice in one year, first the Chatlie Hebdo attack and now this, in retaliation for what the french Government did to Syria, surely, these kinds of awful events are waking people up to the real and very dark evil that is behind it all, but will it be too late at that stage? .. it seems to me, by the time most people have finally grasped what is actually really going on behind the scenes, by the insane Cabal, it may nearly be too late, and maybe nobody will need a passport because the sicko Cabal want to replace plastic with flesh, as they try to subcutaneously laser tattoo the mark of the beast onto everyones forehead in an orwellian state controled, totalitarianism nightmare, their ultimate goal, as you know, is to wipe most of us off the face of the planet .. hope you"re having a nice sunday .. Lol
I´ve been wondering a couple of things...first, why do suicide bombers always carry their passports????? and secondly....passports have a cloth cover and paper pages....how does a passport survive a bomb blast?? Why do these passports they show after the attacks never have any blood on them?
@feather
"first, why do suicide bombers always carry their passports?????"
Because their act would have little effect if noone knew who it was that did it. They also need a way to identify themselves if asked.
Terrorism only "works" if we know who the terrorist really is.
"and secondly....passports have a cloth cover and paper pages....how does a passport survive a bomb blast??"
Paper does not react the same as other loose materials during extreme kinetic pressure. Bodies, hard surfaces and other stationary objects gets blown to pieces in a bomb blast, but paper usually just swirls away...
"Why do these passports they show after the attacks never have any blood on them?"
Since they are in their pockets.
Clothes doesn't get ripped to smitherines either during extreme kinetic pressure. They only rip in their seams.
Pockets and such usually stay intact, and since the clothes fly away a moment before the body comes apart, the chance for blood in pockets and such remans low.
NO.....I was wrong on this and so were you.. One fellow had a fake Syrian passport and the other passport that was found was from one of the victims.
Where does THIS fit into the equasion? Watch the emotion, see how Love unites us all ....
Now compare what happens in THIS video, its the same man on the same day but with a completely different ending, skip to 1.30sec into the video and watch the Police, see who are the ones who wish to divide and rule!
The late Jordanian CIA asset, named Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, created, in post-invasion Iraq, the nucleus of what later became "Islamic State," or the caliphate based upon sunni muslim dreams for a return to former glories...Al Bagdadi is the rolex watch sporting leader of ISIL and like Abu Musab, Osama Bin Laden and many others, fully in service to CIA operations.....All these CIA assets serve in a mostly unwitting capacity, serving a much bigger plan than they are privy to...The plan of the dark cabal's governments....
The cabal currently seeks regime change in Syria, for it's geo-political schemes......It uses ISIL, which is funded and supported secretly by the USA, Saudi Arabia and Turkey....So you could say that fools, sadists, dupes and idiots are responsible for following insane agendas, blindly, created by the western intel services serving the dark agenda, in several countries, all under current dark governance, including France...So yes, this attack was a false flag attack, intended to extend dark governance in Europe, yet doomed to failure, as it's assets in Syria and Iraq are destroyed by Russia....one of our GFL earth ally military nations, serving the Light, in this epic and (for most people) confusing war....
