French Riots: Opportunistic Jihad After Happenstance Electrocution?The actual genesis of "insurgent activity" in France was almost certainly happenstance. The initial rioting was just rioting, par for the course in France, which is still pretty proud about the Reign of Terror, after all. But... just because it started as happenstance doesn't mean there's not enemy action behind its continuation and intensification. Captain's Quarters quotes a report from September 27, 2005: An Algerian Islamist organisation, the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), has issued a call for action against France which it describes as "enemy number one", intelligence officials said Tuesday. "The only way to teach France to behave is jihad and the Islamic martyr," the group's leader Abu Mossab Abdelwadoud, also own as Abdelmalek Dourkdal, was quoted as saying in an Internet message earlier this month. Man, this joke gets old, but I'll repeat it anyway: It must be because of all those French troops in Iraq. CQ muses: The "riots' have sophisticated coordination between cell leaders, using the Internet and instant messaging as well as cell phones -- an odd tool for a spontaneous demonstration where one neighborhood would hardly have those phone numbers at the ready. posted by Ace at 03:51 PM
CommentsFrom http://no-pasaran.blogspot.com/ Ok, the French media.... (http://info.france2.fr/violences-banlieues/15475641-fr.php ) .....is no longer reporting the number of cars burnt ‘cause statistics might just inflame those wacky “youths” into more violence…..lucky for us the US media would never mindlessly report numbers that might incite violence! And the first political leader to blame the US is Vladimir Jirinovski ‘cause the mean ol’ USA wants to weaken all of Europe!

You all may have seen this before, but here is a good article about the french ghettos, written back in 2002: http://www.city-journal.org/html/12_4_the_barbarians.html If this really turns into another intifada, I don't expect the french to exercise the same restraint the Israelis have shown all these years. I wish Europe were capable of a sane middle ground. They seem to oscillate between extreme neo-marxist progressivism and nationalistic racism. For all their talk of nuance, it's exactly what they're lacking. Posted by: SJKevin on November 7, 2005 04:07 PM
"France is our enemy number one, the enemy of our religion, the enemy of our community," What this really means is "France is weak, we can take her". Posted by: Master of None on November 7, 2005 04:49 PM

What you have failed to note is that the insurgency is limited to urban areas and the violence is restricted to a few provinces. Why don't you report any of the good news from France? What about all the new schools, sewers, water treatment plants, and power stations being built? What about re-enlistment numbers among the French police and fire brigades? Democritization is a process not an event. After the next elections we'll get the political process going. That's the way out. That and training young muslims to police themselves and extinguish the fires they set in random cars and shops. All you conservatives are the same. Always negative.

Being French, you would expect them to have an exit strategy by now. Posted by: VRWC Agent on November 7, 2005 07:20 PM
"enemy number one" There's a new "great satan" now? This is outstanding - the USA has won the Great Satan cup for a couple of decades in a row now. Its high time another country came along and mounted a credible challenge. I was beginning to think we were cheating or buying the judges. Posted by: Purple Avenger on November 7, 2005 08:37 PM

Oh no! Hamas' de facto press agent at the UN complains that she can't use her credit cards or rent a card now that she's been sanctioned as a terrorist operative
Why does this keep happening to members of the "political organization" (per Tucker Carlson) of Hamas?!?!
Tucker Carlson claims that it's weird that Ted Cruz is interested in the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, because he has "no track record of being interested in Christians," then blows off the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, saying it might or might not be a real concern
Tucker Carlson enjoys using the left-wing tactic of "Tactical Ignorance" to avoid taking positions on topics. Is Hamas really a terrorist organization? Tucker can't say. He hasn't looked into it enough, but "it seems like a political organization to me." Are Muslims slaughtering Christians in Nigeria? Again, Tucker just doesn't know. He hasn't examined the evidence yet. He knows every Palestinian Christian who said he was blocked from visiting holy sites in Bethlehem, but he just hasn't had the time to look into the mass slaughter of Christians in Nigeria that has been going on since (checks watch) 2009. He doesn't know, so he can't offer an opinion. Wouldn't be prudent, you know? Don't rush him! He'll sift through the evidence at some point in the future and render an opinion sometime around 2044. Of course, if you need an opinion on Jewish Perfidy, he has all the facts at his fingertips and can give you a fully informed opinion pronto. Say, have you ever heard of the USS Liberty incident...? You'd think that the main issue for Tucker Carlson, who pretends to be so deeply concerned about Palestinian Christians being bullied by Jews in Israel (supposedly), would be the massacre of 185,000 Christians in Nigeria itself. But no, his main problem is that Ted Cruz is talking about it, "who has no track record of being interested in Christians at all." And then he just shrugs as to whether this is even a real issue or not. Whatever we do we must never "divide the right," huh? Tucker is attacking Ted Cruz for bringing the issue up because he's acting as an apologist for Jihadism, and he can't cleanly admit that Jihadists are killing any Christians, anywhere. There is no daylight between him and CAIR at this point. One might conclude that Tucker Carlson himself isn't interested in the plight of Christians -- except as they can be used as a cudgel to attack Jews. Just gonna ask an Interesting Question myself -- why is it that Tucker Carlson's arguments all track with those shit out by Qatarian propaganda agents and the far left? That if Jews crush an ant underfoot it is worldwide news, but when Muslims slaughter Christians it elicits not even a vigorous shrug?
Garth Merenghi is interviewed by the only man who can fathom his ineffable brilliance -- Garth Merenghi
From the comments: I once glimpsed Garth in the penumbra betwixt my wake and sleep. He was in my dream, standing afar, not looking my way, nor did he acknowledge me. But I felt seen. And that's when I knew I was a traveler on the right path. I'm glad he's still with us. Now that's some Merenghian prose. Garth Merenghi on the writer's craft Greetings, Traveler. If you still have not experienced Garth Merenghi -- Author, Dream-weaver, Visionary, plus Actor -- the six episodes of his Darkplace are still available on YouTube and supposedly upscaled to HD. (Viewing it now, it doesn't appeared upscaled for shit.) I think the second episode, "Hell Hath Fury," is the best by a good margin. Try to at least watch through to that one. It's Mereghi's incisive but nuanced take on sexism.
Update on Scott Adams:
Scott Adams had approval for this cancer drug but they hadn't scheduled him to get it. He was taking a turn for the worse. Trump had told him to call if he needed anything, so he did. Talked to Don Jr (who is in Africa) , then RFK Jr, then Dr Oz. Someone talked to Kaiser and he was scheduled. Shouldn't have needed it but he did and he says it saved his life.
