"It's A Butchery" - 12 Killed In Terrorist Attack On French Satirical Magazine Charlie Hebdo: Live Webcast

Tyler Durden's picture




 

A tragedy is unfolding in Paris at the moment where armed men stormed the Paris offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday morning, killing “at least 12 people” and injuring more, said a police officer. As a reminder, it was in November 2011 when the Charlie Hebdo’s headquarters were gutted by fire, hours before a special issue of the weekly featuring the Prophet Muhammad appeared on newsstands. Since then, the weekly moved to a new location, which was guarded by police, who were also shot at Wednesday morning. The shooters opened fire inside the magazine’s offices using automatic AK-47 rifles before fleeing, said the officer, cited by the WSJ. The attackers, described as "a commando with Kalasnikov and pump action... they went in there to kill" are believed to still be at large as France is "in shock" according to its president.

More details from AP:

Masked gunmen stormed the offices of a French satirical newspaper Wednesday, killing 11 people before escaping, police and a witness said. The weekly has previously drawn condemnation from Muslims.

 

French President Francois Hollande called the slayings a terrorist attack and said that several other terror attacks have been thwarted "in recent weeks."

 

Xavier Castaing, head of communications for the Paris police prefecture, confirmed the deaths in the shooting at the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical weekly that been repeatedly threatened for publishing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, among other controversial sketches.

 

Hollande rushed to the scene and top government officials planned an emergency meeting.

 

Luc Poignant, an official of the SBP police union, said the attackers escaped in two vehicles.

 

A witness to the attack, Benoit Bringer, told the iTele network he saw multiple masked men armed with automatic weapons at the newspaper's office in central Paris.

In this video one can hear gun shots as the commentator remarks it is an automatic weapon. A woman can be seen running down the street and diving for cover between two cars.

A snapshot of what the alleged attackers look like via @Zaidbenjamin:

As Guardian's Alexandra Topping writes: "The journalist Martin Boudot, from the Premières Lignes agency, has posted this video from the roof of a building situated close to the Charlie Hebdo building. we can hear gunshots and voices who cry ‘Allahu akbar’. In the distance we can see at least two people who appear to be fleeing.

Other newspapers in Paris have been placed under police protection, according to Le Monde.

French president Francois Hollande quickly arrived at the scene of what he called is clearly a terrorist attack. The latest headline updates from Bloomberg as they come in:

  • HOLLANDE SAYS 11 PEOPLE KILLED IN PARIS SHOOTINGS
  • PARIS ON HIGH TERRORIST ALERT, HOLLANDE SAYS
  • FRANCE’S HOLLANDE SAYS THE ATTACK IS A TERRORIST ACTION
  • HOLLANDE: SEVERAL TERRORIST ATTACKS FOILED IN RECENT WEEKS
  • HOLLANDE: FOUR PEOPLE ARE ’BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH’

The latest from Guardian:

A French police official says 11 people are dead in a shooting at a satirical weekly newspaper in central Paris.

 

Xavier Castaing, head of communications for the Paris police prefecture, confirmed the deaths.

 

French President Francois Hollande was headed to the scene of Wednesday’s shooting at Charlie Hebdo, a satirical weekly that has drawn repeated threats for its caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed, among other controversial sketches.

Hollande's full statement:

Francois Hollande has been speaking to the media. He said that 11 people had been killed and four people seriously injured but 40 people had been rescued.

 

Hollande said that the security level had been increased in Paris and a number of terrorist plots had been foiled in recent weeks.
An emergency meeting will be held at the Elysees Palace in the next hour.

 

Hollande said France had experienced “an exceptional act of barbarism committed against a newspaper”.

 

France was facing a “shock”, he added. “We need to show we are a united country,” he said.

 

France had to be “firm and strong” adding: “We will fight these threats and we will punish the attackers.”

 

France had been targeted because it was a country of freedom but no one would be allowed to go against “the spirit of the republic” in this way.

Key updates via Twitter:

More on the controversial history of Charlie Hebdo via the Guardian:

Charlie Hebdo has a long record of taking its satire seriously. The weekly magazine’s response to previous efforts at intimidation was to be even more controversial or outrageous, defying the constraints of religious sensitivity or political correctness.

 

In November 2011, its offices were fire-bombed after it had published a special edition, supposedly guest-edited by the Prophet Mohammed and temporarily renamed ‘Charia Hebdo’. The cover was a cartoon of Mohammed threatening the readers with ‘a hundred lashes if you don’t die laughing’.

 

The petrol bomb attack completely destroyed the Paris offices, the magazine’s website was hacked and the staff were subjected to death threats. But six days later, it published a new front page depicting a male Charlie Hebdo cartoonist passionately kissing a bearded Muslim man in front of the charred aftermath of the bombing. The headline this time was: L’Amour plus fort que la haine (Love is stronger than hate).

 

Less than a year after that, it published more cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, including images of him naked and a cover showing him being pushed along in a wheelchair by an Orthodox Jew. The French government had appealed to the magazine not to go ahead with publication, and shut down embassies and schools in twenty countries when it went ahead anyway, out of fear of reprisals.

Don't you know that all Rulers consider organized religion to be useful? Why do you think they like it to be 'organized' (homogenized and standardized)?

For its followers, it provides a nice "Just add water & heat" type of canned solution to life's questions and problems -- as long as they adhere to its teachings and practice its self-hypnotizing rituals, and make their donations.  And when it becomes too complex, it loses its homogeneity & central control and ends up splintering, unless 'heretics' (religious dissidents) are eliminated.

For the leaders it allows for social stability and leveraged (hierarchical) control.  It worked that way for ancient Kings, Pharaohs, Emperors, Pashas and Caliphs.  And it still works that way today.

Religious and Secular leaders have always had a mostly symbiotic (win-win) relationship to rule over the serfs/sheep, unless one side or the other got too greedy or ambitious.

Governments and their various agencies have relied on false flag terrorism for centuries, none more so than those of the western world. Currently, the U.S. and Israeli intelligence communities are deeply involved in false flag terror, also known as state crimes against democracy, or SCADs.

I'm not saying this was a false flag as I have not looked very hard yet, but there's absolutely no reason to dismiss the possibility. Considering historical precedent, it would be no surprise. Imagine the worst thing your gov't/intelligence community could be engaged in and you'd be looking at the tip of the tip of the iceberg. There's no level they won't stoop to without a second thought.

Pay attention to the earliest reporting and from numerous sources. This is where you will find the most truth, the kind of information that tends to disappear in the days, weeks and months that follow these treasonous "events".

1. Declare Islam a terrorism rather than a religion. Make Islam illegal, on the entire planet.

2. Bulldoze all mosques on the entire planet

3. Lockup/shoot anyone found practicing Islam.

 

Yes, it sounds drastic and unfair, etc, but do we want to fix the problem, or watch innocent people continue to get slaughtered like pigs all over the planet and see everyeons' freedom vaporize? Fk these Islamist pigs. I vote for the former.

No this is stupid and counter productive. There are over 1 billion muslims and most of them are normal people who want to live their lives just like the rest of us all.

The fanatics just need to realize they are targeting the wrong people and should start going for politicians instead, it would probably earn them more respect than going for journalists and innocent people. Politicians are not innocent. They are a breed of psychopaths/sociopaths, and they deserve to meet their armed counterparts until they learn to go back to working for the people, not the 1%.

1. A false flag with guys on foot who could get caught? Yeah right.

 

2. Islamic jihadism is being deliberately stoked by various intelligence agancies for neocon purposes but the reason it works so easily with Islam and rapidly develops a life of its own (like the Mujaheddin turning into Al Queda) is because the seed is already there. Islam is an aggressive, supremacist religion and importing millions of muslims into Europe was an act of supreme treachery by the European political elite that will end in disaster.

Indeed but it was a very long way from Arabia to Spain and they invaded east to India as well. I agree the neocons are helping to make it worse but my point is jihadists are quite willing to attack their non-muslim neighbors even when hey're not being helped by neocons e.g. the entire length of the muslim vs non-muslim border in Africa and East Asia.

The Mujahideen have been an intelligence operation from 1979 to Today, the evidence is abundant. The transition from Mujahideen to "Al-Qaeda" is more akin to a controlled culture in a petri dish than some organic biomass festering in the Amazon. Are you familiar with the history of the internal conflict between the Massoud/"Bin Laden" factions of the mid to late 90s? The decimation of the former by the latter over their unwillingness to bow to their Western masters? Opium and arms are at its core.

This fascinating and tragic tale is just one of many prerequisites to understanding "Islamofascism," and Blowback it is not. This is not to say that organic terrirosim is non-existant, but those acts of terror drawn into focus by the lens of Deep Political propagandists seldom is.

I live in a East Asian country. We in general don't like blacks and muslims, and even though in public racism is deemed bad, there is a lot of discrimination towards them. No wonder the crime rates in China, Japan and South Korea are the lowest in the world.

 

I truly think discrimination towards Islam is justifiable. If muslims don't like being discriminated, then they should first think about the way they act, rather than whine like 7 year olds. The backward way they act is causing all sorts of trouble everywhere.

 

I don't care if the large majority of Islamic people are perfectly sane and normal people. I can't help but have prejudices if all terrorists I see are muslims, can I?

This is what happens when, through immigration, the founding stock of a nation is being replaced by an invasive species, just as with flora and fauna, the invasive species overwhelms and replaces the native species.

Look up Barbara Spectre Lerner. Here is a video of what she had to say about who is behind 3rd world immigration into all of Europe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2Vq_e2Z1ug

There is another member of the same tribe, Anetta Kahane in Germany saying the same things: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuYKtwnzG7M

From the review of a Professor's book:

It is often said that when the old immigration policy was scrapped in 1965, scarcely anyone knew, and no one predicted, that the new law would change the racial makeup of the country. Prof. MacDonald disputes this, arguing that this had been the objective of Jewish groups from the beginning.

Prof. MacDonald finds that Jews have been the foremost advocates of immigration in England, France, and Canada, and that Jewish groups were the most vocal opponents of independence for Quebec. Australian Jews led the effort to dismantle the "white Australia" policy, one reason for which was cited in an editorial in the Australian Jewish Democrat: "The strengthening of multicultural or diverse Australia is also our most effective insurance policy against anti-Semitism. The day Australia has a Chinese Australian Governor General I would feel more confident of my freedom to live as a Jewish Australian." Like Earl Raab writing about the United States, this Australian Jew is prepared to sacrifice the traditional culture, people, and identity of Australia to specifically Jewish interests.

Spectre is a ZIONIST, wrapping herself in "Jewishness".   Do not confuse the mantle with its wearer.  This is their daily staple of deception (bait & switch).

There is a global network of Zionists, who act at Agents and Sayanim.  Another hijacked word they like to use is Antisemitism.  Jews are Semites, as are Palestinians.  It is clearer, more accurate, more honest and less subject-to-deceit to use the term Zionist or Sayanim. 

That way the Debate or disagreement is about differing political and worldviews, not ethnic or religious views -- which they love to use as word traps for the simple, the uninformed and the easily scared or intimidated.  Words are powerful.  As "Jedi Mind Tricks".  For offense and defense.  They are what make TPTB truly powerful, not their numbers or physical prowess.

It should be comforting for every French citizen to know that their government will continue to do their very best to accommodate and support their new "French" population with more laws restricting the long time French born citizens to prevent any type of offensive speech or behavior that might offend their new immigrant guests. And if gun control didn't work this time, maybe next time. After all, if that magazine never printed those offensive things, they'd all be OK now, right? So the new drill: not facing east like your guests is now a crime. Follow the law and stay alive. And welcome to the new France.

I assume “I'm prepared to go all in.” is not meant to be beneficial to my wellbeing.  Iconoclasm is the use of pictures instead of words to provoke a response, mostly violent.

Which is exactly what was done in the name of a free press.

Words are just words.  They dont mean shit without the will to back it up and make it so.  When I perceive a threat, I seek to neutralize that threat.  It's folks like you that are a threat. . . to my freedom to use words as I see fit. 

When people like you push for more law-enforcement tyranny and invasion of privacy, and infringment on the right to free speech and the right to bear arms, we all get a little closer to conflict.

It's the ragheads that choose to commit murder to advance their agenda.  They choose to do so perhaps because the 'words' in their koran justify that.  So if you wish to down-regulate "fighting words", you best start by censoring the Koran, cuz that book is getting a lot of people dead.

"western democracies need to ban all muslim immigration and deport all muslims"

A rather silly comment. Sure, future immigration for many can be blocked except that the EU won't allow it. But deporting existing Muslims is a whole new game. There are literally tens of thousands of them spread across the EU, many having come from war-torn sandpits or where Western governments have been waging proxy wars, eg: Afghanistan/Iraq.

The problem with Muslims in Europe today is little different to the problem that has existed in Britain for many decades, where huge numbers of Indians and Pakis came to Britain because of the British Empire.

The problem is largely created by Western governments, this is why politicians won't deal with it.
