The Truth "Behind" The Charlie Hebdo Solidarity Photo-Op

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Once again the mainstream media peddled the spoon-fed propaganda that world leaders "led the march" to honor the victims of the Paris shootings last week. Glorious photo-ops of Merkel, Hollande, Poroshenko, David Cameron (oh, and not Barack Obama) were smeared across front pages hailing the "unity in outrage." However, as appears to be the case in so many 'events' in the new normal managed thinking in which we live, The Independent reports, French TV has exposed the reality of the 'photo-op' seen-around-the-world: the 'dignitaries' were not in fact "at" the Paris rallies but had the photo taken on an empty guarded side street...

As The Independent reports,

A different perspective on the leader’s portion of the march has emerged in the form of a wide shot displayed on French TV news reports.

 

It shows that the front line of leaders was followed by just over a dozen rows other dignitaries and officials – after which there was a large security presence maintaining a significant gap with the throngs of other marchers.

 

The measure was presumably taken for security reasons – but political commentators have suggested that it raises doubts as to whether the leaders were really part of the march at all.

 

 

 

 

The FT’s Middle East correspondent Borzou Daragahi commented: “Seems world leaders didn’t “lead” Charlie Hebdo marchers in Paris but conducted photo op on empty, guarded street.”

 

Ian Bremmer, a US political scientist and founder of the Eurasia Group, said: “All those world leaders: Not exactly ‘at’ the Paris rallies.”

 

Another US commentator, Gerry Hassan, called the leaders’ contribution “pseudo-solidarity”.

*  *  *

Perhaps even more ironically, nine of those countries represented in the march are in the final third of the World Press Freedom Index, compiled annually by Reporters Without Borders.

 

Algeria (121) - Represented by foreign Ramtane Lamamra

Mali (122) - Represented by president Ibrahim Boubacar Keita

Ukraine (127) - Represented by president Petro Porochenko

Tunisia (133) - Represented by prime minister Mehdi Jomaa

Palestinian Authority (138) - Represented by president Mahmoud Abbas

Jordan (141) - Represented by King Abdullah II and Queen Rania

Russia (148) - Represented by foreign minister Sergei Lavrov

Turkey (154) - Represented by prime minister Ahmet Davutoglu

Bahrain (163) - Represented by foreign minister Sheikh Khaled bin Ahmed Al Khalifa and Prince Abdullah Bin Hamad al-Khalifa

"Je Suis Charlie" if and only if it suits our purpose at that very moment in time...?

Bibi was dismissed by the french, but he said he would attend regardless. So the french invited Abbas as a counterpart.

Odd isnt it?  All those fantastic world leaders in the same place at the same time?  Doubly odd, that the fundamental terrorists never target the leaders or parliament members of any country isnt it?

Dont forget this was three days after the 'Horrific' attack in Paris, now could you just imagine the logistics to get this many fantastic world leaders in the same place, at the same time, in three days?  Even after 1500 highly trained and heavily armed 'Police' managed to take down three folk, but lose one who has since fucked off elsewhere and just vanished into the ether?

You dont think these cunts could be taking the piss could you?  These world renowned leaders wouldnt do things like this would they?

Just think of the cost, especially as the financial world around us is melting down.

Colour me shocked boys.

That photo location is not a side street. That is the main Boulevard Voltaire artery. BUT...it was cordoned off to allow :

1° The families of victims to parade as a bunch. Ahead of the Offical bunch.

2° There was a space left. And then the official bunch of world's "dirty dozen" marched in unison.

Access to Boulevard Voltaire leading from Place de la REpublique to Place de la Nation, was allowed to the officials arriving by bus from Elysees Palace at Place LEon Blum. So the busses dropped them off via a side street at the Leon Blum crossing on Blvd. Voltaire, some 400 yards down from the Place Republique.

This way the officials walked for a quarter of a mile on the Official route but were cordoned off from the subsequent marchers who would follow in their hundreds of thousands (millions?) later on during the day, once the officials had been whisked off.

That's not an indication of a free press, MB.  It just means that the foreign press (outside of the land) is very much controlled on the issue of Palestine and anything at all critical of "Jews" - i.e. Jewish issues.  If the press here didn't talk about "Jewish issues", what else would the press write about?

The chart leaves me wondering if countries coloured yellow "satisfactory situation" - a polite way of saying 'not good enough' - is due to subtle political censorship, unspoken political threats or a cosy conspiratorial relationship between media and government which opens the door to self-censorship.

Indeed. The numbers of early deaths from Fukushima are one of the suppressed consequences of that disaster. The amount of additional pollution in the Pacific Ocean is another and the effect it is having on fish stocks is yet another. All of this is being comprehensively covered up by the Japanese government - with co-operation from other governments - and the MSM. Rare reports of disfigured, dead fish being washed up are quickly buried.

I was surprised to see Lavrov mentioned. He is a fantastic diplomat. So I looked into the case mentioned. The reporter indeed insulted (possibly libeled) someone and was fined a proportion of his salary by the judge. The reporter skipped town before the money could be recovered. Unsurprisingly, the judge was not impressed and sentenced him to a jail term for what was effectively contempt of court. It seems RWB can resort to bending the truth when it suits them. I guess they are yet another co-opted NGO.

I love French culture. Those people have awesome tactics to assert democratic control you haven't imagined yet. Italians are pretty incredible too.

I'd hate to see the fine values of these cultures go extinct. The French language is the language of diplomacy for a reason.

I have tangled with French swindlers, but I have also tangled, in order of magnitude of losses, Jewish, Italian, German, English, French, Irish and African swindlers. Not one Muslim. I haven't done much business with muslims but they all honored their contracts to the letter. I liked the Afghani and Indian muslims best. By my values, the Iraqi men I dealt with over several years and alliances, all had major issues about sex. The east med muslims all treated women as goyim. In my experience jews are most likely to try to rip me off, because I'm not a jew, amount of value at stake isn't at all relevant. I lost money to jews 3 times before i refused to do business with them ever, specifically because they are jews. I lost to English well over 20 times. But the betrayal of those few jews cost me at least 10x more than all the English combined, endangered my life. The English raked me over the coals, but they weren't about to kill their flock.

I was young then.

Counting incidents, hands down English crooks are my noids. Not because they are badass, but because I'm celt - easy prey for Anglo villains. Same reason jews are most often exploited by jews, blacks by blacks, Catholics by the Pope, etc. State education only makes it worse.

Religion is the biggest scam on the planet. The humanitarian accomplishments it lays claim to would have been done anyway, and more if it wasn't in the way. Take this:

I started out an orphan, in a Catholic orphanage. I saw child molesters in frock when I was 3. You will never, ever imagine what its like to be that vulnerable. If you could, you'd see what I see: demented adult children, everywhere. I survived that holocaust. Many did not. In this life I witnessed that. I wish I didn't. That was my childhood in the First world. That horror is not worse in the 3rd worlds because at least until the generation of swine they didn't have extremely wealthy people around them to make them realize their extreme hardships. I Do.

Having "made it", having clawed my way to the top 1%, honestly, I try to help other survivors of this weird, unpredictable experience called Life, that you take for granted. That can end any minute. There is no continuity. You think there is: you're wrong.

I know, I'm the common factor in the equation. I must be prejudiced. And so are you all.

I trust 2 people with my life. Rich or poor, thats excellent. 2 more than you. Both are christian. One is devoutly Catholic. Other than my grandmother she has the finest judgement of any woman I have known. I look after her: she looked after me. I met her late in life, this isn't the textbook maternal bond.

I traced my family. I know who killed my father, and why. I knew my grandmother. She was awesome. She was a hardass. She called politicians rats. So do I, for the same reasons.

When you get old, in western culture, thats all there is. We westerners are generous when we are flush because we know, Nothing Lasts. Except for the Generation of Swine, we know our good fortune is temporary, so we shared our wealth, hoping others will help us when we were down on our luck. its generational. Its instinct.

So as you witness today, some seeds we fertilized without first discriminating their ethics are killing us. This is why all socialists are wrong. Only an individual will change the world. My judgement is supreme.

Help you? First you must convince me. Why should I save you from your fate? Every rich person I know would invest in a good thing. Not one will throw money at a bad deal. So, by this apparent fact, coercive government programs are sinkers.

If you want me to invest myself in you, so far utterly worthless to me humanity, sell me. What have you got worth my time?

Dear Ariadne, you sir, might not even see this late post, but your words reflect the greatness of what a true philanthropist might say. Always wanted to meet one of those good hearts.

These words feel powerful, and full of genuine intent to help folks. So sorry no one else here showed the respect and appreciation for your generous offer, nor showed any compassion for your plight and rise in life. Good stock comes from the hard work people do, and learn to appreciate later in well confirmed rewards.

Were one only able to volunteer for the job. Only those in the heart, can feel others coming from the heart. Sadly, so many have been tainted and conditioned to only hear the deceptive mind, and not to listen to that still small voice within our heart place.

Dream #1: a place to teach those who seek the light.

If this poor soul had the means of which you speak of, there could be many things that might be done before it is all worth ziltch and mere survival is the first duty of the day. Oh yeah. Doing for others would be at the forefront, and a direction to go into is in communications. Helping good and well blinded folks see and understand what the real deal is, and then giving them the choice to endure until folly and fail, or to get active to go about implementing the methodologies of real, and peaceful changes that focus on sustainable issues with simple tools like truth, and real justice. Corruption must be thrown into the real courts of justice for all to see, and then to be punished as is done to every other soul on earth for their trespasses against simple things, like the Rule of Law.

Vision # 1: Greenhouses and green gardens through winter time. We have the land and water, no green energy to manifest the dream.

One could go on and on about what can be done for the greater good of the whole, and really wishes that some day the true warriors that have been denied the powers of the babylonian money-god to make good changes for humanity, get that power before it is too late to steer the ship into a safer direction. It is time that green energy power is meant for good, and not evil. It is no longer acceptable to profit from innocent peoples deaths, and the destructions of their homelands. No moar usurping govts for profits and bankster world domination.

Hopefully, some day that power of the green energy may get to those who can truly lay up some mighty bountiful treasures where they will count the most and in doing so, give those who render such powerful energies to manifest good things that key to the door of righteous redemption also. Having the power to manifest goodness is one that really matters in the sacred karmic credit department where it will count the most. Lay up your treasures well.

Nuff of the thots gone wild.

Thank you for your good intents and actions done well, Sir Ariadne.

Welcome the the world of survivors.

In a way, this index of "press freedom" really only highlights the places where people resist and are dealt with seriously.  In the US and other "enlightened" and "free press" countries, most of the real challenges to the elite and their power structure are sublimated and conformity is more important.

The US -- deemed to have satisfactory press freedom -- is crippled by political correctness.  It is ubiquitous and so deeply held that our "free press," while independent of the government because it is privately owned, functions nevertheless as official regime media.  

The shameful coverage of the MH 17 story is a case in point -- our media dropped the story once sanctions were in place, and once the evidence began to suggest that hte pro-Russian insurgents were not at fault. Similarly shameful: our media's incessant contention that it was Russia that destabilized Ukraine; that Russia up and invaded Georgia unprovoked; their failure to question our government's presumed opposition to radical Islam even as both parties supported the overthrow of secular Moslem governments in Iraq, Egypt, Libya and Syria.

One could go on and on.  There is a long laundry list of Washington contradictions and double standards that our media -- if we had a "satisfactory" degree of press freedon -- would be doggedly invesitgating and bringing to light.  But they do nothing of the kind.  They look the other way.

I do NOT like being forced to agree with Deek Jackson, but nevertheless, the more one knows, the worse it gets!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1L2pXYFGSE&

FKN SHOW - With Deek Jackson 01 15 15

That video by Deek Jackson repeats the video of The Charlie Hebdo Solidarity Photo-Op, which was staged PROPAGANDA. At about the 13:40 mark, to the end, the lyrics of "The Freedumb Song" are superimposed on the Charlie Hebdo Solidarity Photo-Op video ... I also do not regard it as superficial co-incidence that, around about the 4 minute mark of that Jackson video, he switches gears from saying:

"It's not murder. It's, ah, national security. Yeah, let's national security those niggers to death. Then, we'll national security some fucking hippies to death."

I REPEAT:

Hippies were voluntary coloured people.

The standard culture connotations were

"Crazy Nigga" <=> "Radical Marijuana"
