Terrorists take Eagles of Death Metal show in Paris hostage

[Lord Balto]

One thing I've noticed so far is that the media newz type human peoplez keep using the term Kalashnikov instead of the much more widely understood AK-47.

Watching NDTV translating the French reports, it's the French calling them "Kalashnikovs." This goes for men and women on the street. Unless you believe in "crisis actors," this looks like a French thing to me rather than a media thing.

I wonder what a good equivalent would be to Brzezinski's "What's a few riled-up Muslims?" quote, but in regards to the recent wars in Libya and Syria... Surely there are some hilarious, breathtakingly hypocritical statements from Kerry or Clinton, to start with two likely candidates.

(It's not like one would expect otherwise, but am I the only one who can never get used to the disparity in reporting of atrocities? It's obviously not very realistic of an expectation for it to be otherwise, but why is it that the Western media does not give two shits about massacres unless the victims are in certain countries? Perpetually reoccurring rhetorical question prompted by the news from Lebanon yesterday.)

So they found a passport, I read it was from the suicide bomber in a different article, the one below says it was near a gunman.

Apart from finding it hard to imagine that a passport would survive an explosion, if it was on the bomber and not the gunman... why would he bring a passport with him?

Reminds me of the "forgotten" driving license in the car in the Hebdo attacks.

Or the passport fluttering down from the WTC on 9/11.

That's what I wrote this morning as I was monitoring CNN and other news channels.

"Uh-oh. The old found passport canard found by the body of one of the suicide bombers. It was Syrian as they tell it on CNN just now."

If that was missed then probably my request to have this thread's name changed thus making it more searchable in the future was missed as well. Can the OP's title be changed?

Now they're saying they have found another passport. This time it is Egyptian.

Not only do westerners only get truly horrified when things happen to "their" people and not anyone/anywhere else, they also invariably assume that something so awful could only be carried out by an "Other" and not their own people or governments.

It's basic psychology, really, that the goat-worshippers take full advantage of. An unthinkable act is committed. Because it is unthinkable, "we" couldn't have done it, so it must have been committed by an "other". Most decent people think this way.

It's very clever really.

This is one of the biggest stumbling blocks to get people to think about 9/11. "We" would never do something like that! Had to have been those people whose beliefs and customs are completely different than ours.

Forgetting completely that the US military conveniently lost 500 million dollars worth of weapons somewhere around Yemen recently and that we airdropped 50 tons of weapons and ammo the other day to the very sorts of people that committed these attacks. And that we have a history (a long one now) of arming and funding and training exactly these types of folks. They're not actually the "other", they are instead our wards. Our own children, little monsters.

They had a guy on CNN this morning over phone who was walking down the street where the cafe attack was and he said he at first thought it was a drill. He was dressed in an all black military uniform, masked and was a pro with whatever gun and tactics he was using. I didn't catch the man's name. I should have written it down.

The OP's title is fucking fantastic.

The spectacle is the point. There's no thread about the massacre at Garissa University.

do not change it....it is a gift to Elvis' lounge act

Who benefits? Attacking Paris seems to only benefit those--NATO, US, Israel, Saudi Arabia-- who need justification to wage wider war abroad – a war that's currently lacks wide public support to continue fighting. I mean, weren't the US/Israel/Saudis looking for a way to legally get back into Syria? Prevent the EU from expanding economic ties to Russia?

Now France will probably invoke the NATO charter bringing all of NATO to Syria to deal with Assad and to deal with Russia. Especially if they conveniently found a Syrian passport on one of the dead terrorists.

And how convenient that there is a flood of refugees they can hold accountable. Not only have these poor souls been bombed out of their homes but now they face the backlash of a mainstream TV educated mob of first-worlders.

Taking the world to war (legally, that is...we're always at war) one false flag at a time..

P.S. Does anyone think the Muslim people--no matter how angry they might be-- are so stupid that they devise attacks that deliberately brings the world down on top of them? Time and time again? They're not even smart enough to get away! But as Nordic pointed out, we westerners really do consider ourselves superior, so yes we do believe it, after all, the "others" are not capable of rational or logical thought. Therefore, I guess these "stupid" people will continue to perpetrate convenient-for-the-globalists attacks that continue to increase the globalist's power and wealth time and time again.

Yes, in fact, I do. Absolutely.

You're talking about an aggregate noun consisting of well over a billion human beings. It's chock full of fucktards, just like any other religion or ideology.

US Airstrikes take out top ISIS leader in Libya, breaking now.


ISIS STATEMENT: Paris attacks first of a coming storm.

[temp-monitor]

This is a huge win for NATO.

In what way?
