France at war against Isis? These numbers from 27 September: just twelve raids in Syria and about six per day raid in Iraq
Fabio Polese – Sun, 03/01/2016 – 18:29
A dozen raids in Syria. About six raids a day in Iraq. These are the numbers of French military involvement against the Islamic State.
“Much ado political and media, but in the end it is doing little,” wrote the French journalist Jean Dominique Merchet the pages of the Opinion in the last days of 2015.
“The French air force – continues Merchet, reporting the words of General Pierre de Villiers, Chief of Transalpine – led, in the last three months, a dozen raids in Syria.” The raids against the Islamic State commenced on 27 September after a series of reconnaissance flights started on 8 September.
Since the attacks that rocked Paris on November 13th, the attacks against targets of the Islamic state in Syria, have been only five. “To respond to attacks in Paris, the Pentagon has allowed the French airforce to conduct three French raid,” says journalist of the Opinion. The objectives were the command centers, training, recruitment and logistics depots in Raqqah, the capital of the cutthroats of the Caliph. “This fire of retaliation lasted three days, 15 to 17 November, followed by a new raid against similar targets on 23 November.” In December, however, there were two other attacks carried out by the French, one on 5:01 on December 9. But this time the target changed. “For example bombing oil installations”.
None of the French military operations in Syria has been in support of the fighting on the ground. In Iraq, however, the transalpine aviation would lead – from 27 September to 23 December 2015 – about six raids per day, also supporting the ground forces of the regular army and Peshmerga. By comparison, writes Merchet, “in Belgrade in 1999, the French military carried out 52 operations a day, an effort almost nine times higher than at present.”
“To war” , Hollande announced immediately after the attacks in Paris. But these numbers really make you think.

[…] According to the affidavit, Marquez moved to Riverside and met next-door neighbor Farook in approximately 2005. After their initial meeting, Farook introduced Marquez to Islam, and, in 2007, Marquez converted to Islam, prosecutors said.
[…]
In late 2011, according to the affidavit, Marquez and Farook started planning to use firearms and explosives to carry out terrorist acts – attacks that Marquez told investigators were designed to maximize the number of casualties that could be inflicted.
The affidavit recounts a recent interview with Marquez in which he is said to have admitted making plans with Farook to attack the library or cafeteria at Riverside Community College (RCC), where both men had been students.
The plan allegedly was to throw pipe bombs into the cafeteria area from an elevated position on the second floor, and then to shoot people as they fled, according to prosecutors.
Marquez and Farook also allegedly planned to attack eastbound lanes of State Route 91 (SR-91) during afternoon rush hour, according to the affidavit. Marquez told investigators that they chose a particular section of the freeway because there were no exits, which would increase the number of targets in the eastbound lanes.
The plan, prosecutors say, was for Farook to throw pipe bombs on to the freeway, which they believed would disable vehicles and stop traffic. Farook allegedly planned to then move among stopped vehicles, shooting into them, while Marquez shot into vehicles from a position on a nearby hillside.
Marquez allegedly said that he would watch for law enforcement and emergency vehicles, and his priority was to shoot law enforcement before shooting life-saving personnel.
A report from a DHS Whistle Blower, Philip B. Haney
A powerful blast rocked a building in Verviers, a town in eastern Belgium, almost completely destroying its facade according to local media reports, causing people to flee the scene in a rush on Sunday. It is not yet known what caused the explosion; however, local media are reporting that at least 13 people have been injured as a result of the incident.
Thank you Oz-Rita
(Less than 12 hours before world leaders explain the actions described in the headline above have nothing to do with islam)
Armed jihadists have killed at least three people in a deadly shooting rampage and taken 170 hostages at the Radisson Blu hotel in Bamako, Mali.
Automatic weapons fire has been heard on the seventh floor of the 190-room hotel, where it is thought as many as 10 militants have been going floor to floor and taken 140 guests and 30 members of staff hostage.
Witnesses described how the gunmen allowed around 20 hostages to leave safely after they proved they were able to recite verses of the Koran to the militants. US and French Special Forces have reportedly stormed the hotel and have began to clear the building one floor at a time.
The US embassy has confirmed that several American government personnel are among the 125 guests who remain trapped inside the besieged hotel.
No group has claimed responsibility for the hotel attack, which is frequently used by Air France crew, although Al Qaeda affiliated militants have previously carried out attacks in Mali.

More when it comes in. Anyone who reads this site will have rational questions about the event. It will be interesting to see if any of the usual media which deflect from the truth for the narrative, like the CBC, or the BBC, CNN and so on, try a new tack or ignore the Islamic aspects of it, or if any of the media who have shown a brave face to the world and tell the truth are submitting to the massive pressure they must be under to tow the EUSSR party lines on islam and terror.
In March 2014, Oz-Rita and our team translated and subtitled this video about a man who turned out to be the planner, (who the mass media pins the adjective of ‘mastermind’) of the Paris attacks of Nov. 15 – 2015 He describes the coming formation of the Caliphate and more. He was well known and broadcast across Europe more than a year and a half before this attack. This is a newly uploaded copy of that video we did in March 2014 as the channel we had posted it on, has been taken down. Thank you again Oz-Rita for doing this translation, and reminding me we did it. Turns out that it is of some significance.
ISIS gunmen used knives to torture their mortally wounded victims by slitting their stomachs as they lay on the floor, it has been claimed.
An eyewitness who hid in a cellar for three hours as the armed murderers rampaged through the packed Bataclan Theatre in Paris said she knew people were being tortured because she could hear their screams.
Mariesha Payne, from Perthshire, told the Daily Mail: “We knew people were being tortured in the theatre because we heard people screaming, but they were not being shot and these were singular screams.

2. Also 4 Turkish police were injured when a bomb exploded during a raid on IS cells in the same town
3. How would aliens interpret these Frenchmen singing “Oh Happy Day” in squares in the city the day after it was attacked?
4. Watch the action in this 14 second video carefully as Frenchmen trample the field of flowers tribute to either the killers or the dead, (Im not sure which after seeing Happy Days) and one even slides on her backside running from a bang during another feel good group hug and healing session
(Clearly what is needed is some kind of, perhaps Chinese style, brother-control)
Police have today issued an international arrest warrant for one of three French brothers believed to be at the heart of the eight-strong ISIS cell who murdered 129 people in Paris.
Police are hunting for Brussels-born Frenchman Salah Abdeslam, 26, who is accused of renting a Volkswagen Polo used by the suicide bombers who killed 89 people at the Bataclan music venue on Friday.
His brother Ibrahim, 31, blew himself up in a solo attack outside cafe Comptoir Voltaire after renting a black Seat found abandoned today filled with AK-47s and ammunition. A third brother, named Mohammad has been arrested in the Belgian capital.
It is believed the team of eight may all have gathered in a Belgian suburb called the ‘Jihad capital of Europe’ to collect their AK-47s and suicide vests. French and Belgian police are investigating links between the international cell and the Molenbeek area of Brussels known as a ‘den of terrorists’.
It came as Iraqi intelligence said they warned Western countries of an imminent assault the day before the Paris attacks and Turkish officials claim they foiled a plot to kill in Istanbul on the same day in revenge for Jihadi John’s assassination in a drone strike last week.
1The United States has carried out a fresh delivery of ammunition to fighters from the Syrian Arab Coalition battling Islamic State in northern Syria, pushing ahead with a strategy that initially unnerved ally Turkey, a U.S. official told Reuters on Sunday.
The delivery of ammunition represented only the second time the United States has moved to arm the Syrian Arab Coalition, a collection of about 10-12 groups numbering about 5,000 fighters. They are working with Kurds and others to claw back land from Islamic State.
8. Police questioned, released fugitive suspect hours after Paris attacks: sources
Four French officials have told The Associated Press that police questioned and released the fugitive suspect hours after the Paris attacks.
The questioning came when police pulled over a car near the Belgian border, hours after authorities had already identified Saleh Abdeslam as the renter of a Volkswagen Polo that was abandoned at the scene of the attack.
Abdeslam is now the focus of an international manhunt. One of his brothers detonated a suicide vest in central Paris and another was ultimately detained in Belgium.
He was one of three people in a car stopped by police Saturday morning, hours after the attacks that left at least 129 dead, the officials said
9. France starts bombing campaign against Raqqah
10. Peterborough mosque set ablaze in suspected hate crime
Peterborough police are investigating a case of arson at the city’s only mosque, an act that the president of the local Muslim association says was a “clearly a hate crime.”
The fire broke out at the Kawartha Muslim Religious Association’s mosque around 11 p.m. Saturday, police said. No one was inside the Masjid Al-Salaam Mosque at the time.
But association president Kenzu Abdella said members of the congregation had been inside 784 Parkhill Rd. just an hour before the fire broke out there, celebrating the birth of a new baby.
‘Uneasiness’
“The scare for people is that what if this had happened while we were in there?” he said Sunday. “So there’s a bit of uneasiness in the community.”
Abdella said the Muslim congregation was devastated by the arson as members have placed roots in the community and integrated into the surrounding neighbourhoods.
The mosque holds regular open houses that are attended by churchgoers and politicians. They also make regular donations to the local food bank, according to Abdella.
(If it turns out to be, as is so often the case, an insurance job a way out of massive debt for the place, will the CBC inform us? Or just leave us with an impression that it was a ‘hate crime’ because after all, its better to keep the population cowed since after all, I mean, it could have been one. Right?)
1. The bovine-French, panic at mass mourning movement and show of sanctimony
(The most important thing you can do when people you don’t know are murdered by muslims in an act designed to promote the primacy of islam, is show your moral superiority to people who would like to take meaningful action by demonstrating grief.
Not for the dead, but for the temporary damage to the illusion of multicultural socialist utopia. The French have shown they are bronze medal winners after the Soviet Union and the Communist Chinese in that. Just imagine if the whole population of France had not been utterly emasculated by socialism. This attack could have been stopped by a couple of armed men who actually believed in defending themselves. Instead, all they have is what we see today. People tripping over themselves in self sacrifice, trying to tell the people who want them dead or enslaved how there will be no ‘backlash’ instead of at the very very least, going en masse to the mosques and screaming: “stop the hate”.
Instead, they will save that slogan for Marine Le Pen. The one politician who dares suggest that defending ones rights, liberties and even your lives. And thanks to a world governed by socialist identity politics, it will only be even slightly tolerated coming from a woman. Cause if a man dared say these things he would have to live under 24 hour multiple guards and move locations every night, and that would be from the socialists every bit as much as from the muslims)
Here they are again, running from a noise while mourning
2. In this video, a small group of people who wanted to actually deal with the problem of very religious muslims who attack their people and blow up their stuff, gave an opportunity to a thousand emasculated Frenchmen to show moral superiority to those who suggest we fight back against the muslims, that its better to just look superior by not fighting back and even better, to really look super extra morally superior by shouting down and maybe even attacking a little, your own people who want to fight the actual ideology that causes all the attacks all the time.
ISIS is using the PlayStation 4 network to recruit and plan attacks because it’s ‘more secure than WhatsApp’, intelligence experts warn, as special forces are deployed on the streets of London with Britain on terror alert.
The move is the biggest security response since the 2005 London bombings and comes after the sickening attacks in Paris on Friday night – the deadliest in Europe since the Madrid bombings in 2004 – that left at least 132 people dead.
In Belgium, which appears to be at the heart of the terror plot, officials believe that terrorists are using consoles to communicate.
Belgian Minister of Home Affairs Jan Jambon said intelligence agencies have discovered evidence of jihadis using the games consoles to communicate with a special, hidden recruitment channel.
He told HNL.be: ’Playstation 4 is even more difficult to monitor than WhatsApp.’
Meanwhile, special forces have been deployed to some of the capital’s landmarks and busiest spots in the aftermath of the Paris atrocities.

Thank you M., Wrath of Khan, Johnny U., Kathy, CB Sashenka, and many, many more who are sending in invaluable links and comments. But this is a short post as selfishly, I m going to take the bandwidth to rant.
Over the past couple of years we, Oz-Rita, Nash Montana, Gates of vienna and a huge group of volunteers have translated and subtitled hundreds and over the time I have been involved, a few thousand videos. I have, as long time readers will know, lost a few channels well populated with important videos and much hard work. Sometimes for acceptable reasons like commercial copyright and I have little to no argument with that.
But other times for reasons which define the whole problem.
I have lost one channel and been banned from the service because we translated from French and Arabic an Islamic State video threatening and warning France about exactly what happened there on the 13th.
So…
What we have is, a culture that feels the way of dealing with an ideology of grotesque, horror, pornographic in its violence and sick with blood and suffering, is to ban and delete the warnings they issue to us while going to their beachheads and telling them that they should have no fear. That under no circumstances should they worry about a ‘backlash’. But for sure, if you want to maintain the illusion of a socialist multicultural utopia the first thing you really must do, is ban the people who translate and subtitles the videos the enemy makes which explains what they are going to do, and how, and even occasionally more or less when, and most importantly, (and I cannot stress this enough), why.
The various internet services and governments and so on do it for a variety of reasons. But mostly its to protect the illusion that the policies which have infected free and prosperous people since WW2 and destroyed our very immune system of the culture, like AIDS to the individual, are intact and effective at protecting the social body without anyone actually protecting the social body at all.
It takes a serious assault on reason before something as primitive and ineffective as Islam can come to our countries and wreak the kind of havoc that a healthy society would have laughed off as they would have beaten it before it could even demand that schools all serve halal or no one should draw mohamed and be taken seriously by anyone.
The Jews of course will face the consequences disproportionately as they always do. Not because they are the canaries in the coal mines but because they are the first line of defense of preserving the illusion of a socialist state. Not that leftist Jews have played no role in creating and maintaining that illusion, the Jews have never been viewed as the ‘John Waynes’ of any society save a few short years when it was OK to view and portray Jews and Israelis as defenders of liberty when Moshe Dayan was leading the Israelis to victory agains the same enemy we face today. The leftist Jewish people certainly have been part of this emasculation and move to socialism. But the price for that will be theirs to pay in spades. It already is.
Today, the media talks about people who suppress their anger and show moral outrage at those who want to actually do something about the problem the way they used to about genuine acts of bravery by people who fought an enemy bent on destroying us and our way of life. No submitting to, and protecting an enemy from the tiny fragment of your own population who want to do something is the new war hero.
Earlier today, Chris Jones posted the following worthy comment:
In both France and Israel today Jews are best advised to keep a loaded 9mm pistol in their hand at all times, and be ready to assume full combat stance at the first sign of anyone who might even possibly be a Muslim. “Keep on walking, friend…nice and easy like…”
Of course its good advice although I think it should not be limited to Jewish people. All free people should have the right to bear arms. It is in fact, the only thing that makes them free people. The moment you can’t do that your freedom to say, draw and eat what you like can be irrevocably withdrawn with no notice and no vote. But it also got me thinking on the reasons for a nation to disarm the public. It is exactly because it is part of the illusion of a socialist utopia. When a large group of Jews are murdered for being Jews by Muslims who do it because Islam tells them this must happen and as part of a plan for Islamic manifest destiny, then the most important thing is to sacrifice those jews to the illusion that this is not actually happening. The muslims must be seen as victims. The deaths of the Jewish bystanders must be reduced to “a few random folks at a deli” just as Obama and his ilk will reduce the attack in Paris on the 13th to ‘a few folks at a concert’ or, ‘a few folks at a sports event’ any minute now if it appears to interfere with his programs to stop changes in the weather.
The Jews will get it disproportionately as they will be the first sacrificed on the altar of the illusion of socialist Utopia. Not by governments that hate Jews. The French, the Danish, the Germans, the British do not hate the Jews. If anything they have a great relationship with that community in many ways. But these governments are so determined to appear that they can protect the Jews from the millions of muslims they allow in to their countries and support on massive and unsustainable amounts of social services, and who at their core, hate the West, hate freedoms, hate our cultures and everything about us but above all hate the Jews, that our governments will sacrifice the Jews not out of hate for them but a determination to appear that their policies of political correctness, cultural Marxism, multiculturalism, the emasculation of the population and assumption of all powers is working.
Many people point out that in Israel, Jews can get a weapon, protect themselves and this turns out to be effective. This is likely because in Israel, Jews are not viewed as Jews, but as people. Which is the reason the state of Israel exist at all.

Police are reportedly chasing a car containing four ‘heavily armed men’ who stormed through a motorway toll road as they headed towards Paris.
French police are said to be in pursuit of a Citroën Berlingo after it forced its way through a toll on the A10 in the Ablis area of Yvelines in north-west France at lunchtime today.
The town is approximately 40 miles from the centre of Paris and the incident comes as police remain on high alert following a string of deadly terror attacks across the French capital last night.
Police have also confirmed they are currently hunting a black Seat vehicle, registered abroad, which is ‘wanted in connection with the attacks’.
