Paris bombings

I agree.

For me the really significant part of the report was the following:

CONFIRMED: French Government Knew Extremists BEFORE Attack

November 14, 2015 (Tony Cartalucci - LD) - As predicted and previously reported, terrorists who took part in an unprecedented attack in the center of Paris killing over a 100 and injuring hundreds more, were well-known to French security agencies before the attack took place.

The UK Daily Mail reported in its article, "Hunt for the Isis killers: One terrorist identified as 'young Frenchman known to authorities' - another two found with Syrian and Egyptian passports," that:

One of the terrorists involved in last night's attacks in Paris has been officially identified as a Parisian, according to local media reports. The man, who was killed at the Bataclan, was identified using his fingerprints and was from the southern Parisian neighbourhood of Courcouronnes. French reports say that the man, who was around 30 years old, was already known to French anti-terrorist authorities prior to last night's attacks.

Similarly in January 2015 in the wake of the "Charlie Hebo attack" which left 12 dead, it was revealed that French security agencies tracked the perpetrators for nearly a decade beforehand, having arrested at least one terrorist a total of two times, incarcerating him at least once, tracked two of them overseas where they had trained with known terrorist organizations and possibly fought alongside them in Syria, before tracking them back to French territory.

Astoundingly, French security agencies never moved in on the terrorists, claiming that after a decade of tracking them, they had finally decided to close their case for precisely the amount of time needed for them to plan and execute their grand finale.

Imagine that. Just in time they pull the security surveillance.

Oddly enough, I said to Carol early this morning that I thought it was likely that one or more of the culprits would turn out to have some sort of prior intelligence connections. They always do.

Anyway, if it turns out that this was a "permitted atrocity", or perhaps, a "deeply planned atrocity", then we have to reflect on the mindset and groupthink of those who are responsible. If 100 + in Paris today, or 3000 in NYC back n 2001, then why not 3 million in the near future? Why not 30 million or 300 million or 3 billion? Where is the acceptable blood-spillage line drawn?

Me, I keep thinking of the amazing advances in robot technology and wonder why? Once properly functioning, who needs hundreds of millions/billions of minion humans / "useless eaters" to service the new paradise?

God forbid my imagination...
