We Have Almost Nothing on the Paris Attacks – Veterans Today

We are still waiting on word from our own people in Paris, some of whom were near the unfolding events.

A few of us, Kevin and I, have lived in Paris.  Jane, an Atlanta girl, has been there for a couple of decades and keeps VT at the heart of what goes on in Paris.  We typically attend and review everything.  Tonite we were lucky.

As an American, I consider Paris the only world city I can freely call my “home town” other than Detroit, another former French city.  For that reason, I am throwing in a few personal photos rather than anything else.

We will get into this in a bit.

The people of Paris have our concerns and sympathy and we “have their backs” as well.  We are on this.

Initial accusations came in while the bombs were going off.  As with the Russian air disaster, the first reports can very well be red herrings.  We got two layers of them on the Sinai crash, one from Al Jazeera on the engine trouble and another by British intelligence citing Russian mechanics paid off by Saudi’s planting a bomb.

Both were lies and both were not innocent lies and we hope President Putin takes note of this.

As to Paris, first stories, long confirmed, tell of ISIS cells in Paris and a “declared war on France” by ISIS.  Layer two says the money supporting them comes from Qatar.  This is where we begin, following this where it goes or watching it evaporate into space.

What we also hope for the French people is that Netanyahu is not packing his bags in the near future and heading for Paris.

The date Friday the 13th has Freemasonic references in Paris but that would be October 13, not November, tied to the round up of the Knights Templar in 1307 which led to the burning alive of Jaques Demolay.  I only mention this and don’t think they is anything in it.

However, the date often has meaning and we are looking for help here.

A week or so ago, the French promised to move an aircraft carrier into the region and join whatever is going on.

On a personal basis, I am going to look at Qatar and Saudi Arabia along with movement in a number of markets, never writing off economic issues.

We await identification of the terrorists but we also, to a greater extent, wait for the disinformation and obfuscation that would lead us to who is responsible.  There is no greater form of confession nowadays than the Al Jazeera confession on “Sinai.”

We watch them first, they are a nasty bunch representing a thuggish nation ruled by would be James Bond bad guys.

On a personal note, Paris became American after the Great War.  Not just Hemingway or Maugham’s Razor’s Edge, my favorite the Bill Murray version, but a town that has been a haven for so many.

Where I might not always feel like defending France, Paris is something else.  I have friends there, I can always rent a filthy hovel and eek out a living writing paperback novels and selling plasma.

Who could ask for more?

Back in the early days when VT was a busload instead of a dozen stadiums filled to capacity (more), we actually took trips together.  I wish we could do this again.  I would take everyone to “my Paris.”

Everyone has their own “Paris.”  Mine are the two or three neighborhoods I have lived in, they call them arrondissements.   There are open air market days, everyone has their own preferred bakery, tabac and hole in the wall cafe.  I have an “olive guy” and a “soap guy,” even a “fish guy.”

In Paris, y0u can, no matter how semi-notorious, take the battery out of your phone, go “cash” and totally disappear.  When done for the right reasons, peace and security, stopping time, it is a good thing.

Paris is that open.  Now this openness is going to end, cameras will be everywhere like London, parking a car will be even more impossible and there will be fear.

Things have been bad enough, idiot politicians, no real jobs, Parisians never curb their dogs, and crazy Americans like me are everywhere, speaking bad French and driving up rents.

We are not “Charlie,” we never were but we are all Parisians and today we bleed and suffer with our brothers and sisters.

  1. France closed its borders. Certainly the uncontrolled wave of migrants to Europe from Muslim countries is a perfect Trojan horse for Muslim extremists (the thousands of militants of the ‘Islamic State’) who may or may not be zionist controlled. These extremists are in fact violent and are witnessed as posing a particular danger to women and girls. So far, I don’t think this horrible event was a hoax, but it probably comes with zionist blessings in hopes of turning public opinion in Israel’s favor and against Muslim nations (enemy of my enemy…) And because it destroys Christianity via Sharia law and pure demographics. Europe needs to put aside its humanitarian ethos and fight like hell to save itself.









  2. So if the French think it came from Saudi-Arabia or Qatar, why don’t they go bomb them. Instead they might just bomb Syria for it. Or will they bomb the real enemy in Tel Aviv, and ‘accidentally’ hit the Al Aqsa Mosque?









  3. That’s a nice personal touch on today’s events Gordon.
    Our thoughts are with the good people of Paris as eagerly await the clues, indicators and bread crumbs that will lead us to the desperate, soul-less and angry. Hopefully Paris can save itself the shame of the post Hebdo clown show with Bibi peaking the soul-less and angry list.









  4. Just your weekly false flag. In the days to come, they will be exposed yet again.









    • Right, by the DSGE (as Germanwings crash, “Hebdo”). The banksters are clearly panicking. Maybe they (the banksters and their whores) even will attempt to use it as an (absurd) excuse to openly occupy “ISIS” (= DSGE, Mossad, MI6, CIA, Persian Gulf States and all) occupied territory in Iraq and Syria.









  5. “On a personal basis, I am going to look at Qatar and Saudi Arabia along with movement in a number of markets, never writing off economic issues.”

    Well US equity futures took a big hit. I don’t know if there’s anything to it (tbh probably a natural response to this event) but you were looking for a possible economic connection…









  6. My family also has warm memories of Paris as well as the smaller towns & countryside of France. Our hearts & prayers are with the victims & their families, as well as all Parisians.

    I trust VT will do its very best to sift through the chaos, confusion, lies & disinformation…despite the tragic aftermath. Thanks always, Gordon, for all your efforts.
