I offer my condolences to anyone who was affected by this attack.

A couple of hours ago, a reader in France who's a schoolteacher wrote
to me wondering what he should tell the children on Monday.
I responded thus:

I haven't done so recently, but I used write the following pretty
frequently: Treasure the time you have left, and use it to prepare
yourself, your family, your community and your nation.

So if I were a teacher, then I would tell the children that this is
not the time to be frightened into paralysis. This is a time to
prepare for anything that might come. This is different for every
family. You might want to change the locks on your home, or stock up
on canned food, or volunteer to help other people in your community.

Depending on how much fervor you want to inspire, you might remind
them of La Marseillaise: "Marchons, marchons, qu'un sang impur abreuve
nos sillons."

Incidentally, I'm not so sure that the French people aren't uniting.
I just heard on the news that Sarkozy has promised his full support to
Hollande. A lot of people will understand that Le Pen doesn't have
all the answers.

I remember how transformational it was to my thought process as a US citizen when 9/11 happened. 3000 people died that day.

When we hear of 140 dead in France it seems far less, but their country is 7 times less populous than the US, so this is the equivalent of 1000 people dying in the US, or 1/3 of a 9/11. And it's not over yet! Their death count could (and probably will) go much higher.

It wouldn't surprise me if the citizenry of France does have a massive attitude shift as a response to this.

The natural response would be to stop letting refugees into the EU - is that what the terrorists want to have happen??

Regards,

Jack

There are something like 6,000 migrants entering the EU every day.
They can't be stopped any more than you can stop a tsunami.

"Ike’ took quick and decisive action. He used 1,075 Border Patrol Agents to seal the border. In doing so, he achieved a task our government today deems impossible with a force that is 10% larger. Once the border was sealed, Eisenhower went about the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens."

"Within one month 50,000 illegals had been captured and deported, while nearly half a million more fled the country to avoid arrest. By September 80,000 more illegals had been removed from the state of Texas alone, and between 500,000-700,000 more had fled the country.
These illegals weren’t just dropped at the border; Swing arranged for buses and trains to take immigrants deep into Mexico before releasing them. Tens of thousands more were shipped by boat from Texas to Vera Cruz, Mexico.

Using less man power and resources than the federal government has today, Eisenhower was able to seal the border and send nearly 3 million illegal aliens home. The policy had the added effectiveness of deterring future illegal crossings."

The Crusades in the ME against Islam were carried out by the Knights
Templar. In one of the most infamous acts of corruption and sleaze the
then King of France, being in massive debt to the Templar's for the war
against England, ordered that all Templar's be arrested and charged with
treason, amongst other things. The arrest warrant started with the
phrase- "God is not pleased. We have enemies of the faith in the
kingdom" The Templar's were destroyed. Not by Islam, but by the very
people they had fought and died defending.
This was done on Friday the 13th, 1307.
Guess what the date was yesterday.

Friday the 13th, 2015 (numerology 5+2=7, 2+1=3, 1=1 0=0, therefore the year dates are related, according to the "theory"?)

In the mists of the Masons, ( hide things in plain sight ) I have been to Prague and just outside the great Cathedral of the city is the ( I think largest stone in Prague an "Obelisk" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Vitus ... m_2005.jpg This Obelisk is on a grid of slabs of stone which can be seen in the image, ( it is on a high bluff over looking the city and dominating the courtyard ) this grid does not match anything in the city-- maybe the geographic lines or the magnetic lines ?-- interesting. It should be noted many Masons ( based upon their signs ) are buried in the walls of the cathedral.

Things may not be not what they seem. Seek or not, as you wish.

In regards to the Mason's; My Dad was a 32nd Degree Mason, my Grandfather was a 33rd Degree and also the Grand Master of the Balboa Lodge in Panama City, Panama.
A quick lesson on Masonry, they are not the sublimely malicious entity that so many like to paint it as. I grew up reading the Scotish Rite, and can tell you from first hand experience that the one and only thing that the Mason's are concerned about, past, present, and future, is the God given rights of all mankind. They hold these to be the law above all else. America's founding Father's, also a number of Mason's, simply codified the Law's of God into our own constitution then, so as to leave no doubt about it, included the Bill of Rights. We are the only country on the planet to have done so. There are some that looked to copy it, but none others went as far or as reaching.
The reason that the Mason's have had to cope with all of this sinister crap is because of the Marxist/Leninist's that have come into existence in the past decades. If there is one thing that a fundamentally authoritarian movement can not tolerate is an entity that advocates for mankind's freedom. Most especially one that is derived from the word of God.
Sorry if that burst your bubble, but there is no 'there there'. The Mason's are antithetical to Communist/Socialist teaching so there for must be either eliminated or, at the very least, marginalized.

I put that out , for a response??? I don't know , it is funny how things work, my Dad was almost a Mason but didn't like groups. neither do I.
However, I have heard good things and bad things about the Massons, the truth, I don't know. But having said that, I believe each must find their own way without being forced by others, or forcing others. -- kinda like the Stars Wars comment -- "May the force be with you "--- and the "Force" is neither good nor bad, Just as Nature is neither good nor bad. ---- and the "Force" exists, I have experienced and worked with it.

May you find what you seek.
