Who organised the attacks of January and November 2015 in Paris?

Thierry Meyssan — Wed, 27 Jan 2016 19:19:11 +0000

New information, published by the Croatian daily Slobodna Dalmacija, alleges that the French state was responsible for the attacks which occurred in Paris in January and November 2015. Either the French authorities had previously infiltrated the groups which perpetrated these attacks, and chose not to intervene to prevent them, or else they were directly implicated in the organisation of the attacks.

Liberal war media let rip over Paris, IS and ‘defence of civilization’

John Hilley — Mon, 23 Nov 2015 18:00:38 +0000

Doesn't the heart surge to hear crusading Western liberals warn of the 'existential threat' from Islamic State and the call for 'dutiful military responses'? And all in the name of 'our civilizational values'.

Guardian admits its cowardice over Paris

Jonathan Cook — Mon, 23 Nov 2015 13:53:24 +0000

Excluding legitimate analyses of profoundly important events like those in Paris when they are most needed is not responsible, careful journalism. It is dangerous cowardice. It is most definitely not a politically neutral position.

The Paris postmortem.

Daniel Margrain — Thu, 19 Nov 2015 00:57:19 +0000

The panic and fear witnessed on the streets of the city shown on the mainstream news channels in the aftermath of the attacks will, I suspect, be an illustration of what is to come in the future.

The French Republic taken hostage

Thierry Meyssan — Tue, 17 Nov 2015 20:30:18 +0000

In truth, France had been implicated on the side of Al-Qaïda at least since the beginning of 2011. At that time, the United Kingdom and France had signed up for the US project called « the Arab Spring ». The goal of this operation was to overthrow all the secular Arab régimes and replace them with dictatorships run by the Muslim Brotherhood.

It’s True, Media Did Cover Beirut Bombings–About 1/40th as Much as They Covered Paris Attacks

Jim Naureckas — Tue, 17 Nov 2015 18:49:37 +0000

By comparison, the Times (11/14/15) had six first-day stories on the Paris attacks, three of them on the front page. There were some 20 follow-up stories the next day (11/15/15), four of them on the front page. The day after that (11/16/15), there were 15 more follow-up stories, another four on Page 1. One of the November 16 follow-ups—on page 6—looked at reactions in Beirut to the Paris bombing.

A Most Convenient Massacre

Dmitry Orlov Dmitry Orlov — Tue, 17 Nov 2015 13:12:24 +0000

Of course we should grieve for the victims, but there is something far more important at stake than mere human lives, which are, deplorably, becoming cheaper with each passing year. We should grieve for the truth.

Can Obama Level with the People?

Robert Parry — Mon, 16 Nov 2015 18:58:48 +0000

Another terrorist outrage – this one in Paris – is spreading fear and fury across Europe. Which makes this a key moment for President Obama to finally level with the American people about how U.S. “allies” — such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar — have been aiding and abetting extremists, reports Robert Parry.

Paris: You Don’t Want to Read This

Peter Van Buren — Mon, 16 Nov 2015 18:07:55 +0000

Since 2001 the U.S. has expended enormous efforts to kill a handful of men — bin Laden, al-Zarqawi, al-Awlaki, and this weekend, Jihadi John. Others, many without names, were killed outside of media attention, or were tortured to death, or are still rotting in the offshore penal colony of Guantanamo, or the dark hell of the Salt Pit in Afghanistan.

And it has not worked, and Paris this weekend, and the next one somewhere else sometime soon, are the proof.

We #PrayForParis, but #CheerForBombs dropped on Syrian children.

E.F. Nicholson — Sun, 15 Nov 2015 21:41:37 +0000

We know why, and it isn’t an epic struggle of liberal democracies against extremist Islam. Rather, it the battle of state-sanctioned sociopathic violence versus radical groups such ISIL and al-Qaida and their particular brand of sociopathic violence. We are simply viewing different sides of the same fucked up coin. As always, the tragic casualties of the power struggle are innocent civilians, both in Europe and the Middle East.
