No Pasaran! Excellent -- Bomb-Making Factory in Paris

Elaine Ganley: Police Find Bomb-Making Factory in Paris wnd.com, Nov. 6, 05

Police found a gasoline bomb-making factory in a southern suburb of the city, with more than 100 bottles, gallons of fuel and hoods for hiding rioters' faces, a senior Justice Ministry official said Sunday.

[. . . . ] The discovery, Huet [Justice ministry's director of criminal affairs and pardons] said, shows that gasoline bombs being used by rioters "are not being improvised by kids in their bathrooms."[. . . . ]

My commentary: Why this is important to Canadians

How does this affect you in Canada? Why should you care? No country, like no man, is an island, and there are parallels to what has been happening in Canada. Consider the following:

Media censorship / manipulation

For example, here is one No Pasaran! heading on the situation in France: More media censorship on the way.

French cable TV news channel i-tele is openly considering showing fewer images and less video footage of the riots claiming that such coverage might be fanning the flames. The fact is that they do not want to continue showing what the French citizenry is really like in these battling suburbs.

Unelected spokesmen / mediators acceptable

In No Pasaran!, there is mention of unelected "mediators" speaking out in the French Muslim community, self-selected leaders, who have announced that they will not deal with Sarkozy, the hardliner. In Canada, think of the self-selected spokesmen for the Muslim community, a community by no means monolithic (Think of CIC's Elmasry who started his own "Congress" which he heads and from which he makes his pronouncements).

Yet government and media accord these people credibility and legitimacy by courting their views and repeating their pronouncements as though these were elected representatives of Canadian Muslims. CBC positively oozes smarmy respect when speaking of or to these so-called community leaders. It is rather like the race industry's mouthpieces who literally live on racial dissension. If there were no "racism", they would lose their jobs so . . . they keep the fires fanned by screaming "racism" at every opportunity. Muslims in Canada and the US are doing the same, looking for slights and attributing it to race though it could just as easily be attributable to barbaric pronouncements re women, the US and Israel, et cetera.

Government benign?

No Pasaran! gives details of government responses in Paris that echo the responses to criminal gang violence and other pathologies in Canada--unsuccessful, but promoted by leftists and our government, nevertheless--despite all evidence of failure. Consider:

* the victimology industry and the attitudes which underpin the laxity of our courts, the blame anything but the perpetrator attitude

* the rights without responsibilities culture -- of receiving welfare and other considerations as a right which cannot be removed--e.g. refugee status that even newcomers deserve, thanks to interpretations of our Charter and government bowing to the "superior" ideas emanating from the UN (which just happen to concur with what it wants to do anyway) The effect is that people who work pay for those who don't work and haven't contributed. . . The welfare/rights culture declares that one group deserves the working citizens' money, so there are the endless calls for the slucing of $$$ to fix persistent problems of poverty, world hardships and refugees. For example, consider:

* David Kilgour's price for voting for the PM government in the spring -- aid money for Africa.

* Jack Layton's attempts to get money for poverty and projects from a corrupt government before it is turfed

* For an example of this carried to ridiculous extremes, consider what this little one day conference cost (UNB, Wu Centre), on poverty and aid to Africa -- FHTR in March or April -- link later

This system mimics that of France, ideas which have come to the rest of Canada via Quebec. (See an article on this in the National Post within the last week or so, if memory serves) Our government is assiduously re-making Canada in the image of France -- but that is fodder for another post. You will recognize Canada in No Pasaran's articles on France.

Consider, what parallels, if any, you find in No Pasaran! with what has occurred in Canada. Think of hate crimes legislation which is, more and more, being used not to stop incitement to violence, but rather, is being used in the service of curbing free speech, any speech government and "elites" decide is unacceptable . . . even though it is non-violent speech. Then consider what Canada's whistleblower legislation, Bill C-11, is really intended to accomplish, that is, protection of government. (See: "C-11 Whistleblower Legislation Gets an F" -- scroll down or go to the original, Greg Weston: Whistling a sad song Nov. 6, 05)

Media & Propaganda

Scroll down No Pasaran! for French media : heads we win, tails you lose

Draw a parallel between this and the publicly funded CBC practicing "censorship in the face of dissenting opinions". (This is but one small example of the sometimes subtle but always relentless propaganda in the service of the government, in this case, CBC's selective reporting of opinion in No, No, a Thousand Times No! . Despite what anyone can read on the internet and despite other media reporting that Canadians want an election, CBC's only opinion offered in this program was just what PM wants -- no election now.

The curbing of public debate

The effort to prevent actual discussion of different approaches to governing or to different means of solving problems has been overwhelmingly successful. Governments believe start while they're young . Reasoned discussion has been replaced in the schools with expressing emotion and mouthing unexamined mantras. Discussion in what should be the seat of reasoned debate by well-meaning representatives who happen to see things differently but are willing to argue their points, that is, in the House of Commons, has been replaced by the raucous and the mindless in the Question Period .

* offering puff-ball questions within one side for a Minister to verbally preen followed by ludicrous levels of noisy approval and desk pounding

* yelling, baiting and cat-calling to drown out the one speaking or what the other side doesn't want heard

* clapping like trained seals over the most mundane or inept responses

* deliberately misunderstanding the question, then responding without actually answering, responding with a rehearsed and repeated same few lines, and several ministers or MP's giving the same non-informative responses to the same question (e.g. Check what Mr. Brison and Ms. McLellan actually say . . . over and over Hansard April 7, 2005 Question Period -- Relentless Questions & Empty Answers posted Apr. 8, 05, Frost Hits the Rhubarb)

Whatever it is, it is not reasoned debate intended to influence or convince.

Debate has been usurped by noise, grandstanding, mouthing whatever small range of responses are considered acceptable within a circle encompassing:

* the mainstream media (MSM)

* the education system

* what passes for public discourse

* and worst of all, within our Parliament.

Canadians have become a nation of mindless sheep -- or maybe chickens clucking the same cluck and picking at any odd chicken not making the same noise. Note the parallels in France.

War has broken out. Perhaps as France goes, so goes Canada.



No Pasaran!

What follows is the best coverage of the French riots / Eurabian War I've seen. I have omitted much but I wanted to provide several titles in order to show the flavour of this website to encourage people to read it.

Note that the latest information is first and the titles move backward in time.

Escalation

Ten policemen were injured, two of them seriously, when a group of youths fired at police with shotguns in Grigny, south of Paris, police said [. . . . ]

The Religion of Peace has spoken

Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it hole-y

As in bullet holes. Sunday: 29 cops injured by gunfire in Grigny [. . . . ]

Tower of Babble in Ripoublika Franska -- Translation of article linked in “Tower of Babble in Ripoublika Franska”

Following a closed Sunday evening meeting of his security cabinet concerning the riots, Jacques Chirac announced that "the priority, it is the re-establishment of safety and of the law and order". Domenique de Villepin, who continued ongoing meetings with the police and education departments this afternoon is expected to announce "specific proposals" on Monday at 20h on TF1.

This is the first public statement by the head of the State in the rioting which has been growing nightly. [. . . . ]

With Love, from America -- A rough translation of the column linked in “With Love, from America”

I apologize to all of the young artists who transform Clichy-sous-Bois and the adjacent cities into a vast performance of pyrotechnical Landscape-Art. [. . . . ]

Ten days to get the Chirac’s Attention and still no comparisons to Katrina

Further lack of consuming attention noted by France5

Sunday funnies -- excellent

France's second religion that nobody has the right to mention

People are confused by French media coverage which makes no mention of Islamism (any talk of Islam or Muslim youths is strictly forbidden)[. . . . ]

Looks like Intifada, smells like Munich

The American media is struggling with the narrowness of its’ bias

In large part the US MSM was so geared up to cover the organized protests against the existence of George Bush in Argentina, that they have downplayed large scale lawlessness and unrest in France. [. . . . ]

Now that it's Sunday, do you think rioters will respect the Sabbath day?

The night's activity: 1295 vehicles torched, 312 arrests, and Paris hit for the first time since the riots started. In Evreux, rampaging youths armed with baseball bats directly confronted riot police. [. . . . ]
