At the same time French lawmakers agreed to display 10,000 troops throughout the country to protect 'vulnerable places'; spying on citizens, for their protection takes on new forms and formats. Was this a direct reaction to the attack on Charlie Hebdo on January 7, and the assault on a kosher supermarket on January 9? Killing 17 people in all? Is that it?
French Ministers of the Interior and of Defense have advanced their respective wishes for substantially increased military and defense budgets when the 2016-2017 allocations are discussed later this year. No doubt they will get their way.
No doubt, this is the Shock Doctrine at its best. People are in shock and awe following the assault on the satirical and Moslem-insulting Charlie Hebdo. A million and a half people took to the streets in Paris this past weekend, the largest manifestation since the liberation of Paris after WWII in 1945. Some media report more than 6 million people marching throughout Europe. Almost all waving "I am Charlie" signs - was this solidarity, or stupidity? Hard to say. Most likely just sheer ignorance.
It's ignorance that kills our democracies, our human values; public ignorance allows leaders (sic) to wage wars, to aggress nations that refuse to submit and fall to their knees. It's ignorance perpetuated daily by the mainstream media and swallowed without question, day-in, day-out, like breakfast coffee.
European leaders are Neocons, Atlanticists who pledge allegiance to Washington, and who we, the people, have voted into office. Using shrewd and barely noticeable, Washington-funded propaganda, channeled through the NED (National Endowment for Democracy) and other well-endowed CIA-sponsored so-called 'think-tanks', the Atlanticists meddle in local politics, make threats, and sow seeds of destabilization. Europe's new masters, which a majority of the people don't really like, but who are in office anyway - these spineless stooges constitute Europe in Brussels, the EU itself having become a miserable colony of Washington.
So, with a populace under shock, politicians have it even easier to get away literally with murder, with whatever they want under the pretext of fighting the eternal enemy - the Moslem terrorist armies, AlQada, ISIS and whatever other names they have morphed into or morphed out from in the course of the last couple of decades. Eternal war on eternal terrorists perpetuates evil and more terrorism and - war budgets yielding insane profits for the war industry throughout the western Washington-aligned world.
Under shock and awe, people will approve every aberrant and sick wish of aggression by politicians - if being told that it is for their good and protection. Yes, that's what the propaganda machine has done to the 'free-thinking' minds of the citizens of our ever so heralded democracies. Democracies, freedom of expression, freedom of press - mon oeil !
The Charlie atrocities reek all over of false flag. An attack so well and professionally carried out with cutting edge Kalashnikovs and get-away methodology, way beyond the capacities of the Kouachi brothers, who have no doubt criminal records, spent time with and were trained by the very AlQada and ISIS that were created and funded by Washington and by its European puppets - including the French, according to President (sic) Hollande's own admission.
Yes, the French were and are funding counter-terrorism in Iraq and Syria, the very counter-terrorism that provides them in turn with pretexts to bomb the two war-torn countries to even more rubble - just for regime change, with the added benefit of oil and gas, and a constant profit generating war machine - leaving millions of deaths behind, mostly civilians, women and children and elderly - and other untold millions as refugees, in miserable unsanitary camps, or fleeing across dangerous borders to unknown destinies, to disease, hunger and death - people the world forgets, the media stays away from - forgotten lives.
The Kouachi brother, as well as Amedy Coulibaly, the suspect in the hostage drama of the Hyper Cacher food market in eastern Paris, whose identities and past activities were well recorded in French police files, were most likely pre-identified as perpetrators of the probable pre-meditated murderous attacks that left 17 people dead within three days of horror in Paris; attacks so well organized and carried out that they could easily bear the stamp of French special forces, CIA, Mossad or all three of them - because, cui bono - who benefits? - Perhaps the Masters of all three of them?
The Kouachi brothers were identified only by a conveniently lost ID in the get-away car, reminiscent of the intact passport of one of the 9/11 'terrorists' found in the rubbles of the twin towers. Are people really ignorant enough to believe such a farce? - All three were caught and killed almost immediately by police. Dead men don't talk.
And there is more - coincidentally, as reported by Michel Chossudovsky of Global Research, the Police Commissioner, Helric Fredou, Number Two Police Officer of the Regional Service of France's Judicial Police in Limoges, "committed suicide on the night of Wednesday to Thursday at the police station." Commissioner Helric Fredou was leading the police investigation into the Charlie Hebdo terror attack.
Comment: Again, dead men don't talk. From the above article by Michel Chossudovsky:
The official story is that he was depressed and had suffered from a burnout following a meeting with relatives of one of the victims. There are no details as to who these relatives are and where they are living, in the region of Limoges (Haute Vienne) or in Paris (400 km. from Limoges).
What the reports fail to mention is that the Kouali brothers had spent their high-school years in the Limoges region and that Commissaire Ferou's police investigation was in all probability related to gathering information within the region on the Kouali brothers including their whereabouts.
"An autopsy was performed at the University Hospital of Limoges, "confirming the suicide" . The French media decided or was instructed not to cover the incident.
Commissaire Ferou committed suicide in his workplace, in his office at the police station.Did he commit suicide? Was he incited to commit suicide?
Or was he an "honest Cop" executed on orders of France's judicial police?
Has his report been released?
These are issues for France's journalists to address. It's called investigative reporting. Or is it outright media censorship?
The reason given for the 'suicide' is 'burn-out' and depression - depression when in charge of one of France's most prominent criminal investigations of the century? The incidence as of this day is hardly covered by the msm.
False flag written all over the walls of Charlie Hebdo's publishing house. - The publisher being controversial, having received frequent threats for its Moslem-offensive cartoons, was normally under heavy police protection. Why was on 7 January only one police car with one police officer parked half a block away?
False flag - converted immediately into public shock, the perfect condition for ramming any police, military and surveillance legislation down the people's throat. Better, it doesn't even have to be 'rammed down', the population asks for it. They want to be protected and secure. They want their government going to war to wipe out Moslem terrorism, never mind how violent and how cruel they go about it, never mind the criminal acts these governments are committing in the name of protecting their citizenry.
Does anybody take to the streets in Europe, in the US with posters saying "I am.... blank" ... the million victims of Iraq, of Syria - of Libya, of Afghanistan, of Yemen, of Pakistan, of Sudan, of Somalia - and the list is almost endless. These millions of lives wiped out by Obama's drones and NATO count for nothing in the dulled minds of the western civilization (sic).
The war and killing machine that feeds the propaganda machine, driven by the six Zionist-Anglos-Saxon monster media that control 90% of the western information system, shy not from dishing out lie after lie after lie to indoctrinate the populace with believes that have zilch to do with reality - but they transform our western populace into hapless zombies.
What does it take to stop this vicious cycle and awaken consciousness?

I've been thinking just that throughout this whole thing.
In some ways I can identify with the 'charlies' as it could happen to anyone and nobody deserves to be a victim of the violence. But this violence has been happening to many people in many lands for a long time now.
I find it easier to identify with the millions of other victims that have not and do not matter to the majority in the west.
I am.. not a willing dupe or the next blood sacrifice
