Wonder what they wanted burning last night?

Amazing really, they've managed to play the usual buckets of sorrow across the world card ('Australia weeps for France' no one weeped )

And they've got people donating millions to have it rebuilt which we know ain't happening on that dime

Just what did they destroy last night ?

macron and uk world leaders in carpet bombing historic buildings across the middle east without so much as a second thought,putting a few kids,women might just might prevent them from doing so, getting more coverage than Grenfell,janet street poter sticking her head above the paraphet to say money could be spent far better elsewhere

The appeal for money to tart up the place before the fire barely raised a euro but now o happy days.

Sky coverage goes from sublime to utterly ridiculous.After flashing the breaking news that the Queen sent condolences to Macon(yep),they then went live to Abergavenny to speak to a sheep farmer who went to Paris in 1975 and has fond memories of the old church.

E-U-E-U-oh

Being cynical, I wonder where van der Lubbe was yesterday.

April 15th... Lincoln assassinated, Titanic sunk, boston unbombing, Notre Dame got the hump.. Just saying

This report suggests, Notre Dame was under funded by as much as $135 million of the total sum of $185 million required for pre-fire upkeep of a decaying building.

This report was 5 days before the fire.
It suggests less than a third of the funding had been provided by the French state, and that appeals for the rest were aimed at a pious America (whose political system ofc is riddled with one eyed religious bigots)

See Bill Maher's excellent 2008 documentary 'Religulous'

I recently read a biography on Voltaire (who has been championed from many quarters, not least for his later years involvment as a seeker of justice, fighting against a capricious Ancien Régime that was largely influenced by rich Catholic despots)
We all know now what happened to the Ancien Régime, who used torture librally on people with little money or influence and used Catholicism as it's source of inspiration (children had their tongues pulled out for uttering anything deemed even slightly disrespectful to the church, along with the use of horses to yank limbs off innocent people in the attempt to evoke a confession for an act deemed seditious)

France ofcourse ultimately went on to overthrow this despicable power and became a secular state. Yet still Catholicism was allowed to continue its degenerate influence on the minds of the subjects with imposing buildings such as Notre Dame as monarch's would once use castles. They were allowed to continue to use the unknown as a weapon, using threats to have people support the church and provided little or no evidence to substantiate ridiculous claims such as the world being only 5000 years old....that talking snakes existed alongside meek lions (what were the teeth and claws for then, the eating of grass?) and perhaps the worst manipulation of them all; the suggestion that we are all inherently guilty by simply being born (even though this absurdity was addressed by the likes of Nietzsche who suggested non of us requested life)

Catholicism drips in golden iconography, it's vulgar use of mind bending influence has subjugated humans to an extent no other has. It is pernicous, man made and elitist and it's built on one simple manipulation; Sartre's Angst, once you are aware of this, it no longer has any impact on you at all.

This has all come at a very convienient time for Macron, who has needed something to unite the nation to detract from his leaning towards the 1%ers.

Yep, great post dusty

Macon the Rothchilds banker who got elected from nowhere says it all, bit like May place in a position to screw anything up,funny old game innit!

"Major world event = zoomer conspiracy bollox on chit chat.
Has this NOT happened before?"
Fixed it myself...

De missing Linke morelike

Teryy ask yourself, when was the last time something major happened and you didn't immediately latch onto some wackadoodle conspiracy?

Were the illuminatie involved in this or just the Jewish rothschilds? Is the pope a shape shifting lizard who orchestrated it? Were there chemtrails in the smoke? Was the spire a G5 mast shooting mind control death as a back up in case the Eifel tower genocide weapon of doom failed?

Can French people save themselves by taking the tin foil from methnol cigarette packets and making hats out of them?

cack

Americans don't know what it means, SS

Sorry Dave but you explain the anti semitic content of terry's post please?

Maybe 'anti-semitic' is another one of those labels that are thrown around with little or no justification whatsoever

Yeah , the silence is truly deafening .
It comes across as a case of throwing out a slanderous accusation then running and hiding when asked to justify it .

If you cannot back up a statement or justify an opinion , either of something or someone , then you shouldn't post the comment in the first place .

............... unless you get a buzz out of looking stupid

I think it's healthy to question official narratives.

Attacks on churches and synagogues are on the rise in France including arson. This fire was declared an accident less than 24 hours after it started. So about 9 hours after it was put out (but not investigated).

That's very odd.

Within 48 hours hundreds of millions of Euros has been pledged. No mention of insurance or public liability of contractors (if they were at fault). Tax incentives are being offered to donors.

Both Tusk and Macron are making political gain out of it which is sickening.

It's not just the smouldering embers that stink....
