COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

French police surround terrorists





Live: Siege underway as police surround Charlie Hebdo suspects

Latest update : 2015-01-09

The police operation to detain the two suspects in the Charlie Hebdo attack is underway Friday, with the three-day manhunt focused on a town 50 kilometres from Paris. The suspects are now surrounded and have reportedly taken at least one hostage.

  • The suspects - brothers Cherif Kouachi, 32, and Said Kouachi, 34 - are thought to have taken one hostage at a small printing shop in the town of Dammartin-en-Goele in the Seine-et-Marne region, around 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) from Paris' main airport Charles De Gaulle. 
  • Shots were fired earlier on Friday north-east of Paris as police chased a car believed to contain the suspects, but there were no casualties.
  • The two brothers are suspected of killing 12 people at the Paris-based satirical weekly - eight journalists, two police officers, a maintenance worker, and a visitor. 11 people were also wounded - four of them seriously.
  • Nine people have so far been detained in the search for the brothers.

  1. Why didn't they go to a Paris no-go area?

    Then they could have tried to hide out among the buds, and also perhaps have created a whole bunch of 'martyrs'.

    There are surrounded by 1500 police.

    1500 to 2.

      On Nov. 25, 1940, a boat carrying Jewish refugees from Nazi Europe,
      exploded and sank off the coast of Palestine killing 252 people.

      The Zionist “Haganah” claimed the passengers committed suicide to protest British refusal to let them land.
      Years later, it admitted that rather than let the passengers go to Mauritius, it blew up the vessel for its propaganda value.

      “Sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice the few in order to save the many,”

PARIS — The French police on Friday killed the two brothers suspected of massacring 12 people at a Paris newspaper on Wednesday and freed a hostage they had been holding unharmed, the authorities said. But at least three hostages were killed when the police staged a separate assault on a kosher supermarket in Paris.

      Five hostages at the supermarket, on the eastern edge of Paris, were injured, and five were reported to have been freed. The hostage taker, described as an associate of the brothers, was also killed, according to a senior French police official.

    Deuce, Jack and others view Israel as a illegal colony, to be removed by any means. Killing of Jews by any method to achieve this goal is just fine with them.

    They apply one standard to Israel and no standards to any other nation on the planet, in terms of warfare, law fare and standards of behavior.

    To keep it simple goes the following: Would you live under Hezbollah, Hamas, Fatah or Iran's Mullahs?

    "What separates ISIS from other terrorist groups in the Middle East?


    Reader Rob Dent in Abbotsford, B.C. asks, “What are the main differences between ISIS and other Middle East terrorist groups?” Patrick Martin, The Globe’s Middle East correspondent says, “That’s a good question, Rob. On the surface many of the Middle East groups appear similar – most subscribe to a radical Islamist agenda and use violence against civilian non-combatants,” he writes. “But they vary in political goals, structure, religious doctrine and techniques.” Martin explains:


    Islamic State, as the group calls itself, was formerly known as Islamic State in Iraq and al Sham (ISIS) as well as Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). It began as a spinoff from al-Qaeda in Iraq, becoming known only as Islamic State in Iraq.

    As the name suggests, Islamic State has defined territorial goals, seeking to establish an Islamic caliphate in Iraq, Syria and other countries in the Levant (Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Palestine). Al Qaeda, on the other hand seeks a worldwide caliphate and controls numerous affiliates or franchises in several countries.

    It should be noted, however, that Islamic State’s recent name change suggests its goals may now encompass a wider area too. Indeed, a number of radical Islamist groups – in Sinai, Libya and the Maghreb — have recently pledged allegiance to IS.



    Islamic State has gone so far as to appoint its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as “caliph” in the territory it controls in Syria and Iraq. This is one of the things that distinguishes al-Qaeda from Islamic State. The former has not appointed a “caliph” and does not control any defined territory, preferring to operate clandestinely. As well, al-Qaeda or its affiliates frequently engage in attacks on targets outside the Middle East – in Europe, Asia and the Americas, whereas Islamic State operations are limited to consolidating or expanding the territory it now controls.

    There is a concern that IS fighters, many of whom are drawn from Islamic communities in Western countries, may return to these countries and engage in acts of terrorism in order to raise the group’s profile even further.

    These two major Islamist movements differ also in their techniques of terror – al Qaeda favours larger bombing or firearm assaults, the scale of which speaks to the organization of the operation and strikes fear by the power displayed.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Islamic State terrorizes people by the brutality of its acts – sometimes just the beheading of a single person, done before a camera and shown to the world in all its gory detail, and sometimes by the execution of large numbers of captives including women and children. Al-Qaeda itself has denounced such treatment of people, suggesting it gives Islamist terror a bad name.

      Other groups in the Middle East also use terror to achieve objectives but are quite unlike Islamic State. Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have carried out violent attacks against civilian non-combatants in Israel. Unlike Islamic State, however, neither of these Palestinian Islamic movements seeks to create a caliphate, nor a completely religious state. Their goals are more national and their attacks have been part of a broader campaign to expel Israelis from Palestine in which they seek to have a Palestinian state.

      Hamas, in particular, has declared its willingness to settle for a state within the pre-1967 borders that separated Israel from the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Such a compromise notion would be unthinkable for Islamic State.

      The Lebanese movement Hezbollah also confines its goals to one national state, Lebanon, in which it seeks political power. The group is primarily distinguished from Islamic State by religious beliefs – Hezbollah is a Shia movement, closely linked to Iran, while Islamic State is Sunni and views Hezbollah members as apostates. The two are on opposing sides in the Syrian Civil War, with Hezbollah forces helping the regime of Bashar al-Assad, an Alawite, a sect related to Shiism, while IS forces are fighting against the regime."

    That about wraps up the title for “Most Vile”. You attack a man’s grandchildren? That comment defines “vile”.

    To the subject on the article:

    The Viet Cong were nationalists opposed to foreign occupation. We were on their turf. We were invaders. Israel has spawned nationalistic groups opposed to occupation by another recent colonial power. The Greek partisan fought the Nazi occupation and the Kurds have been fighting foreign occupation of their lands as did the Apaches and the Iroquois. It is the oldest human source of conflict and every occupying power called all of them terrorist and rebels.

    Israel compounded the problem by making it a religious war. The Zionists claim of a religious entitlement and been argued ad nauseam on this site.

    Israel practices an exclusion policy that permits any person from anywhere to settle on Israeli occupied lands based on Judaism. The offended religion is Islam, a religion that composed many nationalities most of them at war with each other at one time or another. Events of the past 70 years created a symbol and branded Judaism with Zionist and Israel. The actions and reaction of the branding gave impetus to both nationalistic groups opposed to foreign occupation and religious fanatics that focused on the religious component.

    Israel Inc furthered the process by claiming that Israel was the canary in the coal mine and that Israel is the West. Israel represents Western Values. Israeli propaganda did everything it could to blur the differences and in the minds of those offended, has succeeded in dragging European and US interests into their continued disruption. The settlements, the walls, the continuous wars, the killing with US and European supplied weapons and political support has taken its toll.
