| #53 Latest from FREEREPUBLIC > [Fox News] TERRORISTS SLAUGHTER 118 IN PARIS MUSIC HALL, 40 OTHERS IN SEPARATE ATTACKS. All members of the CA band "Eagles of Death Metal" reported SAFE-N-SOUND. IS is repor on TWITTER "gloating/boasting" about the new Paris attacks - FYI IS suicide bomber(s) had also struck a Hezbollah/Shiite stronghold in Lebanon, killing over 40. * LUCIANNE > [BretBart] CALIFORNIA BAND "EAGLES OF DEATH METAL" IN PARIS TERROR ATTACKS. * BIGNEWSNETWORK > ISLAMIC STATE THREATENS TO ATTACK RUSSIA "VERY SOON" ["soon. very soon"] IN NEW VIDEO | [Reuters, WN] ISLAMIC STATE VIDEO THREATENS ... "VERY SOON": "SITE" MONITORING GROUP. VERSUS * WORLD NEWS > [Daily Beast] OBAMA: FORGET ABOUT "DESTROYING" THE ISIS, WE [US-Allies] JUST NEED TO "CONTAIN" THEM. THE PRESIDENT USED TO TALK TOUGH ABOUT WIPING OUT THE TERROR ARMY, NOT ANY MORE. MORE N-O-T GOOD NEWS for GUAM-WESTPAC + US EAST ASIA ALLIES, the USN PEARL HARBOR BATTLESHIP USS "OKLAHOMA" = "GUAM WILL CAPSIZE", + THE US-WEST = ENTIRE NON-MUSLIM WORLD AS PER RISE OF [US-born, US-raised, USDOD Soldat-Killer Elite + Convert to Islam] NUCLEAR MUSLIM NAPOLEON = ISLAMIC MESSIAH/MAHDI/HIDDEN IMAM + NUKE-ARMED GLOBAL CALIPHATE 2030-2050. Subjectively speaking, + not unlike per China's post/anti-US "Manifest Destiny" + new Man-Made Islands in the SCS, THE MORE OR LONGER THE ISIS/ISIL/DAESH ARE ALLOWED TO EXIST THE MORE CREDIBILITY-N-LEGITIMACY THEY ACQUIRE = SOMEONE(S) IS GONNA GET PISSED OFF WHEN THEY ARE NOT AROUND ANYMORE OR IN ALTERN ARE SEEMED TO BE FORCIBLY MADE WEAK BY OUTSIDE OR FOREIGN THIRD-PARTIES. Someone, or some Personages + Aligned, are going to want to take REVENGE for Setback or Defeat. VICIOUS CYCLE/LOO WHICH OWG AMERIKA + ALLIES MUST BE PREPARED FOR. OTOH, iff POTUS Obama fails to defeat or destroy the ISIS by EOY 2016 or by Jan 2017 when he leaves office, + iff his post-Jan 2017 POTUS Successor(s) is another COVERT ANTI-US US OWG GLOBALIST POTUS, THEN PER SE DEFEAT OR DESTRUCTION FOR THE ISIS/ISIL/DAESH MAY BE FAR FAR AWAY, PERHAPS EVEN NEVER TO TAKE PLACE. [Once again, TOM CRUISE + EMILY BLUNT'S 1960's-1970's = 2014 "EDGE OF TOMORROW" Movie here]. Iff Radical Islam takes over most or all of the earth, youse may still get OWG-NWO, albeit Islam-based/centric + Anti-Secular, BUT FORGET ABOUT "SPACE GOVT-ODER" + SPACE EXPLORATION-COLONIZATION BECUZ ISLAMIC-CONTROLLED/DOMINATED EARTH WON'T BE GOING INTO SPACE FOR ANYTHING. Might as well buy some nice Burquas, lots of Camels + Sex Slaves, good pair of Swim Shorts + Eye Shades to watch the Sea Levels rise and also watch the Sun as it goes Red Giant or Nova. |

| #52 And how do you propose telling the good mooselimbs from the bad ones? I think the best translation of the original quote is "Kill them all, and do not worry, for G_d shall know His own" Bishop Simon de Montefort, Langudoc Crusade, IIRC |

| #42 ...Fox story isn't worded clearly but at least 118 dead now, and the number going up - this was a series of coordinated attacks. I weep for France. Whatever has passed between us, this cannot be tolerated. This is where Europe must choose. Mike |

| #41 Wasn't the Eagles, but another band with "eagles" in their name. |

| #40 Unfortunately, I was NOT able to catch the entire News segment, but as per #22 CNN was repor up to 80 killed not counting alleged attackers. Also, I may be wrong but IIRC/IIHC CNN also repor the great 1970's US band "THE EAGLES" was allegedly playing in the theater when it the Bad Boyz struck??? |

| #29 I suspect some will blame this on Jihadi John's death or some other recent event(s). These attacks involved too much planning and logistics for this to be the case. |

| #23 But Obama earlier said that ISIS has been "contained" What a jackass! 7 attacks underway, at least 60 dead 100 plus hostages being executed one by one at concert hall, and just now 5 separate explosions there. Funny how it happened right after the carrier Charles De Gaulle moved to support air attacks on ISIS, and in Paris, on Friday the 13th, the place where the leaders of the Knights Templar were burned in 1309. Odd synchronicity perhaps? But contained Champ? |

| #22 Over 80 dead reported now. Fight back France! |

| #21 'It's a horror' This sort of language plays right into the 'terrorists' hands. Especially if it come from a supposed leader, like Hollande. He should be showing a calmness, a steely resolve, and a sense of outrage, not saying how 'horrified' he is by the actions of these murderous arseholes. He's not some helpless old granny watching a friend being roughed up by thugs. 'It's an despicable outrage that will be met with overwhelming force. We will hunt down the animals who have done this, and we will kill them. We will hunt down those who led and encouraged them, and we will kill them, too. We will not stop until all those who would commit these crimes against us know that, if they try, if they lift a finger against us, we will kill them too. We will kill them whever they are. We will not pay in innocent French blood for the madness and hatred of others.' That would be a bit more inspiring than 'It's a horror'. |

| #18 Explosions also erupted at the Stade de France, the national stadium, where Germany and France were holding a soccer match, the Associated Press reports. "It is a terrible trauma for France," Hollande, who had been at the stadium, said in a national TV address."Once again we are under attack." He said the French military was being deployed around Paris after the unprecedented attacks. Hollande also said, without elaborating that security forces were assaulting one of the sites hit by Friday’s attacks. “It’s a horror,” he said. "The terrorists want to scare us and instill fear," he said. "There are reasons to be afraid, but the nation knows how to defend itself and mobilize its forces and how to defeat the terrorists." The death toll ranged as high as 60 in the French media. |

| #10 Europe 1 reports a new shooting in the Quartier des Halles in the very center of Paris. Looks like something very planned and organized. One Bataclan attacker is reported to have shouted: "C'est pour la Syrie." |

| #9 AFP now denies having stated that there are 30 people dead |
| Posted by: European Conservative 2015-11-13 17:38 |
| #8 Le Figaro reports 30 people dead now. The major event seems to be the (ongoing) terror attack (what else?) in the Bataclan arts theater. Attackers have shot at the public with automatic guns, there is an ongoing hostage taking (about 100 people trapped) and shootings seem to go on. |

| #3 Le Figaro reports at least 18 people dead. Only very cautious info about the explosions near Stade de France. They certainly want to avoid panic in the stadion. Hope evacuation will be smooth (match ends in 10 minutes) |
| Posted by: European Conservative 2015-11-13 16:50 |
| #2 I'm watching the match on tv and I heard the explosions myself. They sounded pretty massive. |
| Posted by: European Conservative 2015-11-13 16:47 |
| #1 With the recent attacks in France, I think it is safe to assume it is a terrorist attack until proven otherwise. |
