Suspects in newspaper massacre killed, hostage freed, French police official says
At least 4 dead, including gunman, after police raid Paris kosher market, official says
Gee, how neat and convenient!
The shelf life of this particle false flag just expired, even as Police State France got 'em! Reminds one of what happened in Canada (or Australia, for that matter).
"The final showdown and hostage taking was irrational. I guess that sold. However, if you really did shoot a place up, the last thing to do is keep running around in stolen cars. That does not wash AT ALL. Proper procedure? Ditch the car, ditch the Jihadi outfit, get on the subway or bus and go to a place to hide out until things cool off. The fact this did not happen makes no sense to me, unless someone wanted a Hollywood style script for max effect.
They flooded Mexican television with this crap until I wanted to puke.
Farganne found two additional videos that destroy this psy op, in one video which was supposed to be in the aftermath of the police officer shooting when they were discussing where to put the flowers, one reporter can be heard saying in a questioning tone "where they put the fake blood?" This is on the Forum
I was very irritated by the theme "I am Charlie" fronted in France, and how fast such massive rallies were staged. How fast all the signs were printed. How fast all the light shows with that phrase got set up. Not rational at all, that made no sense at all to me. And the "I am Charlie" theme was no doubt fronted to make everyone feel touched by "Islamic terror". That just chapped me. They really took it over the top and no doubt had it all scheduled ahead of time. France scammed that better than the U.S.
Need I mention the common theme of the lost ID? Could it be any more obvious?
Charlie was going under, probably had layoffs scheduled, and now has a million magazines (far more than the usual number) going out to stores to handle excess demand caused by this publicity stunt.
COME ON NOW"
From what I've read, Charlie was an idiot, and Hebdo too.

Charlie Hebdo shooting: Who are the suspects?
Paris Shooting Hoax Terrorist Cherif Kouachi is a Gay Zionist
The grim cover story:
"One of three suspects in Paris killings surrenders" by Dan Bilefsky and Maia de la Baume, New York Times January 07, 2015
PARIS — The police organized an enormous manhunt across the Paris region on Wednesday for three suspects they said were involved in a brazen and methodical midday slaughter at a satirical newspaper that had lampooned Islam.
The terrorist attack by masked gunmen on the newspaper, Charlie Hebdo, left 12 people dead — including the top editor, prominent cartoonists and police officers — and was among the deadliest in postwar France. The killers escaped, traumatizing the city and sending shock waves through Europe and beyond.
From what I've seen and read, the even was more staged and scripted hoax than anything else. One wonders if it wasn't a drill now being presented as real.
Officials said late Wednesday that the suspects had been identified and that two were brothers. They were identified as Said and Cherif Kouachi, 32 and 34, and Hamyd Mourad, 18. French news reports said the brothers, known to intelligence services, had been born in Paris, raising the prospect that homegrown Muslim extremists were responsible.
Oh, no, it is the SAME SCRIPT as BOSTON!
Early Thursday, a spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor said that Mourad had walked into a police station in Charleville-Mézières, about 145 miles northeast of Paris, and surrendered.
“He introduced himself and was put in custody,” said the spokeswoman, Agnès Thibault-Lecuivre.
The assault threatened to deepen the distrust of France’s large Muslim population, coming at a time when Islamic radicalism has become a central concern of security officials across Europe.
And when the French Parliament was voting to extend statehood to Palestinians.
Within the space of a few minutes, the assault also crystallized the culture clash between religious extremism and the West’s devotion to free expression.
First Korea, and now this. I'm starting to smell a rat cooking in the desert. Blogging has been a trap all along, huh?
Spontaneous rallies expressing support for Charlie Hebdo sprung up later in the day in Paris, throughout Europe and in Union Square in New York.
Really?

"NOT TO MENTION ALL THOSE PROFESSIONALLY PRINTED SIGNS, READY TO GO FOR THE SAME DAY'S "PROTESTS." -- whatreallyhappened.com/
Officials and witnesses said at least two gunmen carried out the attack with assault weapons and military-style precision.
Hmmmmmmm.
President François Hollande of France called it a display of extraordinary “barbarism” that was “without a doubt” an act of terrorism. He declared Thursday a national day of mourning.
Yeah, this really is stinking!
He also raised the nationwide terror alert to its highest status, saying several terrorist attacks had been thwarted in recent weeks as security officials here and elsewhere in Europe have grown increasingly wary of the return of young citizens from Syria and Iraq where they went to wage jihad.
The same ones they trained to overthrow Assad.
French authorities put some schools on lockdown for the day, and added security at houses of worship, news media offices and transportation centers, and conducted random searches on the Paris Metro.
The Paris prosecutor, François Molins, said according to witnesses, the attackers had screamed “Allahu akbar!” or “God is great” during the attack, which the police characterized as a “slaughter.”
Corinne Rey, a cartoonist known as “Coco,” who was at the newspaper office during the attack, told Le Monde that the attackers spoke fluent French and had said they were part of al-Qaida.
An amateur video of the assailants’ subsequent gunfight with the police, showed the men shouting, “We have avenged the Prophet Muhammad. We have killed Charlie Hebdo!” The video, the source of which could not be verified, also showed the gunmen killing a police officer as he lay wounded on a nearby street.
The victims at Charlie Hebdo included some of the country’s most revered and iconoclastic cartoonists. The weekly’s editorial director, Stéphane Charbonnier, had already been receiving light police protection after earlier threats, the police and Molins said. An officer assigned to guard the newspaper’s offices and its top editor was among the victims.
As news of the attack spread, an outpouring of grief mixed with expressions of dismay and demonstrations of solidarity for free speech. By the evening, not far from the site of the attack in the east of Paris, an estimated 35,000 gathered at Place de La République — young and old, and various classes — some chanting, “Charlie! Charlie!” or holding signs reading, “I am Charlie” — the message posted on the newspaper’s website.
Spontaneous vigils of hundreds and thousands formed in other cities around France and elsewhere in Europe.
Meaning they were not spontaneous at all! This is all ONE BIG PSYOP so they can claim they are waging a war of FREEDOM against those intolerant Muslims!
Yeah, the WAR AGENDA HAS STALLED and WE ARE SICK OF IT, so.... sigh!
Molin, the prosecutor, said that two men armed with AK-47 rifles and wearing black masks, had forced their way into the weekly’s offices about 11:30 a.m., firing at people in the lobby, before making their way to the newsroom on the second floor, interrupting a news meeting and firing at the assembled journalists.
The attackers then fled outside, where they clashed three times with police, shooting one officer as he lay on the ground on a nearby street. They then fled in a black Citroen, and headed north on the right bank of Paris. During their escape, prosecutors said, they crashed into another car and injured its female driver, before robbing and abducting a bystander.
Police said the precision with which the assailants handled their weapons suggested that they had received military training. During the attack, which police said lasted a matter of minutes, several journalists hid under their desks or went to hide on the roof, witnesses said.
I don't doubt it; the question is under which western intelligence agency.
*******************
A senior U.S. counterterrorism official said Wednesday that the U.S. authorities were following the developments in Paris closely, but that they had not yet identified any individuals or groups who might be responsible for the attack.
Michael J. Morell, the former deputy director of the CIA and now a consultant to CBS News, said it was unclear whether the attackers acted on their own or were directed by organized groups. He called the motive of the attackers “absolutely clear: trying to shut down a media organization that lampooned the Prophet Muhammad. So, no doubt in my mind that this is terrorism.”
What nonsense!!
He added, “What we have to figure out here is the perpetrators and whether they were self-radicalized or whether they were individuals who fought in Syria and Iraq and came back, or whether they were actually directed by ISIS or al-Qaida.”
Dalil Boubakeur, the rector of the Grand Mosque in Paris, one of France’s largest, expressed horror at the assault on Charlie Hebdo. “We are shocked and surprised that something like this could happen in the center of Paris. But where are we?” he was quoted as saying by Europe1, a radio broadcaster.
I'm not.
“We strongly condemn these kinds of acts and we expect the authorities to take the most appropriate measures.” He added: “This is a deafening declaration of war. Times have changed, and we are now entering a new era of confrontation.”
The attack comes as thousands of Europeans have gone to join jihadist groups in Iraq and Syria, further fueling concerns about Islamic radicalism and terrorism being imported.

"Funny how all these intelligence experts know an attack is coming but can never stop it!
In any event, we know what is going on here. The people are smelling government bullshit in Paris, so to distract them from the smell, the government dumps more bullshit somewhere else!" --whatreallyhappened.com/
Those concerns have been particularly acute in France where fears have grown that militants are seeking to target French citizens in retaliation for the government’s support for the U.S.-led air campaign against jihad with the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq.
Last month, Prime Minister Manuel Valls ordered hundreds of additional military personnel onto the streets to beef up security after a series of attacks across France raised alarm about Islamic terror.
I'm sorry I've soured so much on this Jewish war propaganda.
In Dijon and Nantes, a total of 23 people were injured when men drove vehicles into crowds, with one of the drivers shouting an Islamic rallying cry. The authorities depicted both drivers as mentally unstable. The attacks came after violence attributed to lone-wolf attackers in London in 2013, in Canada in October and last month in Sydney, Australia.
This is just bad propaganda now.
In September, fighters in Algeria aligned with the Islamic State beheaded Hervé Gourdel, a 55-year-old mountaineering guide from Nice, and released a video documenting the murder. Gourdel was kidnapped after the Islamic State called on its supporters to wage war against Europeans to avenge the airstrikes in Iraq and Syria.
More fake beheadings cited, huh?
President Barack Obama issued a statement condemning the attack. “Time and again, the French people have stood up for the universal values that generations of our people have defended,” he said. “France, and the great city of Paris where this outrageous attack took place, offer the world a timeless example that will endure well beyond the hateful vision of these killers. We are in touch with French officials, and I have directed my administration to provide any assistance needed to help bring these terrorists to justice.”

"Anti-immigrant sentiments on rise in Europe" by Steven Erlanger and Katrin Bennhold, New York Times January 08, 2015
Place is awash in swastikas and Nazis (although that is wearing thin among people who had nothing to do with it), from what I've read.
LONDON — The sophisticated, military-style strike Wednesday on a French newspaper known for satirizing Islam staggered a continent already seething with anti-immigrant sentiments in some quarters, feeding far-right nationalist parties like France’s National Front.
What did they have to do with any of this?
They didn't insult the prophet, and I can't imagine world leaders and controlled protests lining up with them.
WTF, NYT?
“This is a dangerous moment for European societies,” said Peter Neumann, director of the International Center for the Study of Radicalization at King’s College London. “With increasing radicalization among supporters of jihadist organizations and the white working class increasingly feeling disenfranchised and uncoupled from elites, things are coming to a head.”
That's more a cla$$ thing.
Olivier Roy, a French scholar of Islam and radicalism, called the Paris shootings, the most deadly terrorist attack on French soil since the Algerian war, “a quantitative and therefore qualitative turning point,” noting the target and the number of victims. “This was a maximum-impact attack, they did this to shock the public, and in that sense they succeeded,” he said.
Just SCREAMING PSYOP at this point!
Anti-immigrant attitudes have been on the rise in recent years in Europe, propelled in part by a moribund economy and high unemployment, as well as increasing immigration and more porous borders.
That's what comes with globali$m.
The growing resentments have lifted the fortunes of established parties like the United Kingdom Independence Party in Britain, and the National Front, as well as lesser-known groups, such as the Patriotic Europeans Against Islamization of the West, which assembled 18,000 marchers in Dresden, Germany, on Monday.
In Sweden, where there have been three recent attacks on mosques, the anti-immigrant, anti-Islamist Sweden Democrats party has been getting about 15 percent support in recent public opinion polls.
See: Swedish Election
Paris was traumatized by Wednesday’s attack, with widespread fears of another.
“We feel less and less safe,” said Didier Cantat, 34, standing outside the police barriers at the scene. “If it happened today it will happen again, maybe even worse.”
Cantat spoke for many when he said the attacks could fuel greater anti-immigrant sentiment. “We are told Islam is for God, for peace,” he said. “But when you see this other Islam, with the jihadists, I don’t see peace, I see hatred. So people can’t tell which is the real Islam.”
The newspaper, Charlie Hebdo, in its raucous, vulgar and sometimes commercially driven effort to offend every Islamic piety including the figure of the Prophet Mohammed, became a symbol of an aggressive French secularism that saw its truest enemy in the rise of conservative Islam in France, which is estimated to have the largest Muslim population in Europe.
That's because Zionists already control its government.
On Wednesday, Islamic radicals apparently struck back.
Apparently.
“This secular atheism is an act of war in this context,” said Andrew Hussey, a Paris-based professor of postcolonial studies. Hussey is the author of “The French Intifada,” which describes the tangled relations — still marked by colonialism and the Algerian war — between France and its Muslims.
“Politically, the official left in France has been in denial of the conflict between France and the Arab world,” Hussey said. “But the French in general sense it.”
The attack left some Muslims fearing a backlash. “Some people when they think terrorism, think Muslims,” said Arnaud N’Goma, 26, as he took a cigarette break outside the bank where he works.
Well, yeah.
Samir Elatrassi, 27, concurred, saying that “Islamophobia is going to increase more and more. When some people see these kinds of terrorists, they conflate them with other Muslims. And it’s the extreme right that’s going to benefit from this.”
Oh, really? Not the New World Order or the Zionist agenda?
Nowhere in Europe are the tensions greater than in constitutionally secular France, with as many as 6 million Muslims, a painful colonial history in Algeria, Syria, and North Africa, and a militarily bold foreign policy. That history has been aggravated by a period of governmental and economic weakness, when France seems incapable of serious structural, social and economic reform.
The mood of failure and paralysis is widespread in France. The Charlie Hebdo attack came on the publication day of a controversial new novel, “Submission,” by Michel Houellebecq, which describes the victory of Islam in France and the gradual collaboration of the society with its new rulers from within. Houellebecq, like the famous caricaturists and editors who were killed at Charlie Hebdo, has been a symbol of French artistic liberty and license, and his publishers, Flammarion, were reported to be concerned that he and they could be another target.
I'm sure the "terrorists" knew that.
But the atmosphere has been heightened by the rise of the National Front and its leader, Marine Le Pen, who runs ahead of the Socialist Party in the polls, campaigning on the threat Islam poses to French values and nationhood.
“This attack is double honey for the National Front,” said Camille Grand, director of the French Foundation for Strategic Research.

"French detain 9 in hunt for 2 suspects; Officials fear second strike; 88,000 officers in massive sweep" by Elaine Ganley and Jamey Keaten, Associated Press January 09, 2015
PARIS — Police SWAT teams backed by helicopters tracked two heavily armed brothers with Al Qaeda sympathies suspected in the newsroom massacre of a satirical French weekly that spoofed Islam, honing in Thursday on a region north of Paris as the nation mourned the dozen slain.
Authorities fear a second strike by the suspects, who US counterterrorism officials said were both on the US no-fly list, and distributed their portraits with the notice ‘‘armed and dangerous.’’ More than 88,000 security forces were deployed on the streets of France.
They also extended France’s maximum terror alert from Paris to the northern Picardie region, focusing on several towns that might be possible safe havens for the two — Cherif Kouachi, 32, and Said Kouachi, 34.
The worst spasm of terror violence in more than a half-century stunned France. The lights of the Eiffel Tower went out Thursday night in a tribute to the dead from the elegant iron lady that symbolizes France to the world. At noon, the Paris Metro came to a standstill and a crowd fell silent near the Notre Dame Cathedral.
French President Francois Hollande — joined by residents, tourists, and Muslim leaders — called for tolerance after the country’s worst terrorist attack in decades.
‘‘France has been struck directly in the heart of its capital, in a place where the spirit of liberty — and thus of resistance — breathed freely,’’ Hollande said.
Nine people, members of the brothers’ entourage, have been detained for questioning in several regions. In all, 90 people, many of them witnesses to the grisly assault on the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, were questioned for information on the attackers, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said in a statement.
The minister confirmed reports that the men were identified by the elder brother’s ID card, left in an abandoned getaway car, a slip that contrasted with the seeming professionalism of the attack.
Left or was planted? I mean, c'mon!
A third suspect, 18-year-old Mourad Hamyd, surrendered at a police station Wednesday evening after hearing his name linked to the attacks. His relationship to the Kouachi brothers was unclear.
Yeah, turns out he was at school all day, with witnesses and everything. Coverage of him will soon be discarded and forgotten.
The Kouachi brothers — the Paris-born offspring of Algerian parents — were well known to French counterterrorism authorities. Cherif Kouachi, a former pizza deliveryman, had appeared in a 2005 French TV documentary on Islamic extremism and was sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2008 for trying to join up with fighters battling in Iraq.
Does he work for the DGSE?
Eight journalists, two police officers, a maintenance worker, and a visitor were killed in the attack and 11 people were wounded, four of them critically. The publication had long drawn threats for its depictions of Islam, although it also satirized other religions and political figures.
Charlie Hebdo had caricatured the Prophet Muhammad, and a caricature of Islamic State’s leader was the last tweet sent out by the irreverent newspaper, minutes before the attack. Its feed has since gone silent.
Charlie Hebdo planned a special edition next week, housed in the offices of another paper.
‘‘The paper will continue because they haven’t won,’’ Patrick Pelloux, a Charlie Hebdo columnist said tearfully to iTele TV.
Editor Stephane Charbonnier, known as Charb, who was among those slain, ‘‘symbolized secularism . . . the combat against fundamentalism,’’ his companion, Jeannette Bougrab, said on BFM-TV.
‘‘He was ready to die for his ideas,’’ she said.
I think we all are.
Witnesses to the massacre have said the attackers claimed allegiance to Al Qaeda in Yemen, and on videos they were heard saying they were avenging the prophet. ‘‘Tell the media that it’s Al Qaeda in Yemen,’’ the two shouted as they were fleeing, one witness, Cedric Le Bechec, wrote on Facebook.
Except you spelled it wrong: it's Al-CIA-Duh
Jarring France further, two mosques in France were firebombed Thursday and a police officer was killed in Montrouge, on the southern edge of Paris. However, Cazeneuve told reporters there was no known link between that killing and the attack on Charlie Hebdo.
Police searched an apartment in Reims, in the Champagne region, where the interior minister said Said Kouachi lived, with technicians gathering samples.
The hunt moved further north after a report that two men resembling the suspects robbed a gas station in Villers-Cotterets early Thursday. The focus then enlarged to Crepy-en-Valois, where heavily armed security forces with air cover and a giant black rapid intervention truck moved through rural streets and among old stone buildings.
Won't have to for much longer.

"US says suspect trained with Al Qaeda in Yemen" by Eric Schmitt and Michael S. Schmidt, New York Times January 09, 2015
WASHINGTON — One of the two brothers suspected of killing 12 people at a satirical newspaper in Paris traveled to Yemen in 2011 and received terrorist training from Al Qaeda’s affiliate there before returning to France, a senior US official said Thursday.
And somehow the whole $urveillance $y$tem missed it, huh?
The suspect, Said Kouachi, 34, spent “a few months” training in small arms combat, marksmanship, and other skills that the suspect displayed in videos of the military-style attack carried out Wednesday by at least two gunmen on the offices of the Charlie Hebdo newspaper.
Both French and US officials were aware that Kouachi trained in Yemen. He went there at a time when many other young Muslim men in the West headed to Yemen, inspired by Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born cleric who by 2011 had become a senior operational figure for the terrorist group there, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Before he was killed in a US drone strike in September 2011, Awlaki repeatedly called for the killing of cartoonists who insulted the Prophet Muhammad.
He's dead and buried now, so the terror attack must be all set for tomorrow then.
Kouachi and his younger brother Cherif, 32, have been under scrutiny for years by officials in France and the United States, and according to a US intelligence official both were in the American database of known or suspected terrorists and on the no-fly lists maintained by the government.
Oh, STINK!
Cherif Kouachi first came to the attention of French authorities as a possible terrorist a decade ago, when he was in his early 20s. He was arrested in France in 2005 as he prepared to leave for Syria, the first leg of a trip he hoped would take him to Iraq, and convicted three years later. He was released in 2008 for time served.
US intelligence and counterterrorism officials were still trying to determine Thursday whether the Al Qaeda affiliate in Yemen had explicitly ordered Wednesday’s attack.
There was no indication that the masked men who carried it out were acting under orders from the group or were part of a larger militant cell in France. But as they launched their attack at Charlie Hebdo, according to witnesses, the pair proudly declared allegiance to the group.
“Tell the media that it is Al Qaeda in Yemen,” the men shouted, referring to a terrorist outfit also known as Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
This is already turning SILLI!
The Yemen branch of Al Qaeda had already declared its own interest in targeting the newspaper. A 2013 edition of the group’s English-language propaganda magazine, Inspire, placed Charlie Hebdo’s editor, Stéphane Charbonnier, on a hit list along with other prominent journalists, writers, and public figures.
“Wanted dead or alive for crimes against Islam,” the jihadist magazine stated.
While familiar to French authorities, the two Kouachi brothers appear to have lived low-key lifestyles in Paris. Orphaned as children after the deaths of their parents — immigrants from Algeria — Cherif and Said were raised in foster care in Rennes, in western France. Cherif trained as a fitness instructor before moving to Paris, where he lived with his brother in the home of a convert to Islam.
Oh, no, NOT AGAIN!
Mathieu Guidére, a French expert on terrorism, described the brothers as representative of a common and powerful phenomenon — the emotional appeal of global jihad, particularly after the battlefield successes in Iraq and Syria last year of the Islamic State, to segments of Europe’s young Muslim population.
That's what false flags are for! Gin up war fever!
