Given French complicity with ongoing US state terror throughout the Middle East, North Africa and elsewhere, odds strongly favor the latter.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple likely well-planned Friday night attacks in Paris had a disturbing aroma to them \u2013 including France\u2019s knee-jerk police state reaction. More on this below. Here\u2019s what happened.<\/p>\n<p>At least seven apparently well-coordinated attacks occurred, gunmen with automatic weapons and suicide belts killing over 150 victims. Many others were injured. Stade de France stadium was struck during a football (soccer) match between France and Germany.<\/p>\n<p>So was the Bataclan theater during a concert, restaurants full of patrons, a cinema, and pedestrians on Bichat Street, the Avenue de la Republique and Boulevard Beaumarchais.<\/p>\n<p>Reports indicated other Paris locations were attacked, including the Forum des Halles shopping area attracting an estimated 150,000 daily visitors.<\/p>\n<p>The predictable aftermath so far includes French President Francois Hollande declaring a state of emergency \u2013 effectively suspending constitutional rights under martial law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo decisions will be taken,\u201d Hollande announced. \u201cThe state of emergency will be decreed, which means several places will be closed off, and traffic will be limited in certain areas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe state of emergency will apply across the country. The second decision I have taken is to close the borders, so that the people who have committed these crimes can be apprehended.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know where this attack came from. We must show compassion and solidarity, but we must also show we are united. There is much to fear, but we must face these fears as a nation that knows how to muster its forces and will confront the terrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heavily armed French soldiers were deployed around key Parisian locations. Five metro lines were shut. Orly airport flights were suspended. All city schools and universities were closed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blowback or False Flag in Paris?
