Terror Strikes Bastille Day

 

 

At least 30 dead in Nice, France as Islamic terrorists continue their war against all who are not them:

 

A spokesman for the Alpes Maritime prefecture advised locals to ‘stay indoors’ as gunfire was heard, and a lorry was driven into a crowd on the Promenade des Anglais, Peter Allen reports.

Bodies could be seen lying on the floor by the beach, as the police and other emergency services tried to deal with a mass panic. 

Fireworks were filling the night sky as the drama unfolded, as the crowds enjoyed July 14th, which is always a Bank Holiday in France.  

“It is absolute chaos,” said an eye witness who works in the Nice judiciary.

“There are reports of dozens of people killed, and many more injured. Bodies are lying everywhere.

“Police are flooding the streets, including anti-terrorism officers.  Nobody knows what to do, except to hide away. Gunmen are meant to be targeting hotels.” 

The lorry was seen mounting the pavement and piling into anyone the driver could see, ramming over those who tried to run away.

 

Go here to read the rest.  Charles Martel pray for us.

 

 

Update: 

Sixty dead according to latest reports.  This was during fireworks and you can bet some of those dead were kids out with their families to watch the fireworks.  A thousand eternities in the foulest pit in Hell would be far too short for the murderers behind this.

May the Jihadists reap the same “reward” earned by their spiritual forebears of the Third Reich:

 

 

Update 2:

 

73 dead and quite likely to rise higher.  God help them.

 

Update 3:

Eighty dead.  In the movie Juarez (1939) there is a powerful scene where a Mexican Juarista is being executed before a French firing squad.  A boy, presumably his son, turns to hide his face.  His mother, presumably,  gently turns his face to witness the execution, and utters one word:  “Remember.”  For those of you who have the stomach for it, and I confess that I do not, go here to view a video of the dead.

Here is a video far more graphic only for those who need to feel the reality of maiming….which may be no one…

The UN and the Hague need to make the violence believing sectors of Islam unlawful under international law and related mosques worldwide should be shut…as an initial step. All countries should deport any muslims linked to such schools of thought to the Mideast. They are a cancer on the world.

The symbolism of the date of the attack will be lost on no one. It is the bloody protest of superstition and ignorance against the triumph of liberty and enlightenment (the two are inseparable)

Here’s the problem. Millions of Muslims are at war. Dem and GOP oligarchs are fanning Black Lives Matter riots. And, America is playing Pokémon-Go.
.
The warden and I went to the 9/11 Memorial on Tuesday evening – free pass, senior. It was okay. I saw pictures of people I had worked with, and Rick Rescorla – whose story everyone should know. It brought back memories. One disappointment: it omits memorializing hundreds of people who jumped rather than be burned to death. Give me ten minutes with the duds that decided to dilute/whitewash the horror.

Political correctness kills.

Have you ever noticed that these days the really horrific violence seems to be coming from one of three places?
.
(a) Muslim fanatics jazzed up on testosterone and demonism
(b) Black gangsters incited into racism by the President, murdering other blacks, white people and police
(c) White liberal progressive Democrats shooting children in schools and murdering children in the womb.
.
You gotta know who your enemies are. They are NOT:
.
(a) The Muslim engineers and scientists who just want a job and work beside you day in and day out
(b) Your black neighbors and friends and co-workers who are as appalled at this wickedness as you are.
(c) Your typical liberal who just wants social justice for all but is deceived into thinking that comes from Caesar Augustus
.
They are not the enemy. The enemy is Satan who is inspiring all of this. It is a diabolical conspiracy. Satan knows his tiime grows short. Just before Mother Mary crushes his head with Her heel, he squirms and wiggles tyring his best to do the most damage.

Newt Ginrich echoing moi….in today’s ny times:
“Western civilization is in a war,” Mr. Gingrich said. “We should frankly test every person here who is of a Muslim background, and if they believe in sharia, they should be deported.”
He added, “Modern Muslims who have given up Sharia, glad to have them as citizens.”

Just to T. Shaw–Warden???? Would you be referring to your Sweet Bride??? Had to grin at that and think you and my husband either came from the same place or know one another, he refers to me as the warden.

I agree with your above comment regarding Bastille Day. It was not good. It was very bad. It was a mortal blow to the Catholc Faith in France; the triumph of atheism and irrationality over Christianityand Thomist Truth. It involved the heavy persecution of Catholics and the murder of the Aristocracy that sprang from Catholic based, Constantinian, Monarchical government. The closest thing to heaven we will ever see on earth was destroyed in the guillotines of Bastille.

That being said. I pray for France. I pray for those murdered by our enemy the Muslims. Their deaths I feel personally. I am enraged on their behalf.

Newt Gingrich said it best, in response. Shariah is the problem. Shariah must be rooted out from within our midst. We must identify those who swear fealty to Shariah and ruthlessly deport them out of our midst, as an act of mercy to the innocent lives such Muslims threaten by their mere presence.

I will vote for Trump if he picks Newt as his running mate. That simple. Trump/Gingrich is a fantastic ticket for a neverteumper like me. Newt yes. Pence, no. It’s time to man up. They are here. The attacks have begun.

LQC, the (a)in your list is just as much a threat as an open jihadist. Big companies like Caterpillar are bringing in foreign workers under the J1b program to replace natural born citizens, because they can pay them lower wages or salaries than an American citizen. And to add insult to injury, the American worker is forced to train his replacement under threat of sometimes losing his severance pay! Also, LQC, Muslims are allowed to deceive the infidel about Islam and their real feelings about Non-Muslims. They can even indulge in Non-Islamic behaviors, like drinking alcohol, to further the deception of the infidels.

Stephen, I agree with you in this sense: if only 1% of the M&Ms in a jar containing 400 are poisonous, then 4 M&Ms are poisonous. Will you reach your hand in to get a handful to eat? Probably not.
.
But people are not M&Ms and whether we agree with their religion or not, we have to treat each person with the dignity that befits someone made in imagine et simulacro Dei.
.
Furthermore, I have worked with Muslims most of my adult life after I got out of the US Submarine Service. I even had a department manager who was Shiite Muslim, read his Quoran daily, and prayed 5 time per day as prescribed. He was a good man. He always treated me decently and all his other staff as well, and some day I hope I can work for him again.
.
Another man with whom I worked was a Sunni Muslim who always used those prayer beads to pray. He once observed me going out for my lunch time walk praying the Rosary, so he struck up conversation about the use of prayer beads to concentrate the mind on one’s prayers, and that gave me a chance to evangelize. I do not know what became of the seed that I planted, but that’s not my business. It’s God’s.
.
So yes, I am leary of Muslims. I have seen some homes physically wrecked by Muslim husbands who didn’t give a damn about their wives and kids. But that’s not all Muslims, and certainly not the ones with whom I have worked.
.
PS, as for righteous Muslims, I point to King Abdullah II and Queen Rania of Jordan for whom I have a deep and abiding respect. And as for terrorists whether Muslim, black gangster or white liberal Democrat wacko, I recommend availing ourselves of our 2nd Amendment right.

Brian wrote, “the Aristocracy that sprang from Catholic based, Constantinian, Monarchical government.”
The aristocracy represented the Frankish, Teutonic element that came in with the barbarian invasions of the 5th century. The Catholic historian, Lord Acton got it right: “The hatred of royalty was less than the hatred of aristocracy; privileges were more detested than tyranny; and the king perished because of the origin of his authority rather than because of its abuse. Monarchy unconnected with aristocracy became popular in France, even when most uncontrolled; whilst the attempt to reconstitute the throne, and to limit and fence it with its peers, broke down, because the old Teutonic elements on which it relied – hereditary nobility, primogeniture, and privilege — were no longer tolerated. The substance of the ideas of 1789 is not the limitation of the sovereign power, but the abrogation of intermediate powers.”
As for the original Gallo-Roman element, as Acton notes, “The Cæsarean system gave an unprecedented freedom to the dependencies, and raised them to a civil equality which put an end to the dominion of race over race and of class over class. The monarchy was hailed as a refuge from the pride and cupidity of the Roman people; and the love of equality, the hatred of nobility, and the tolerance of despotism implanted by Rome became, at least in Gaul, the chief feature of the national character”

Just me: Her being referred to as the “warden” should tell you more about me than about her.

“(c) Your typical liberal who just wants social justice for all but is deceived into thinking that comes from Caesar Augustus”

The support of the typical liberal is empowering big govt & people like Obama to cause the damage that is now taking place. They are part of the enemy apparatus–there is no way around it.

Seen at Instapundit. “A bomb levels the trappings of civilization. Islam and its liberal allies (Marxism) deconstruct(s) civilization itself.”

The only means man has of having “righteousness” is through imputation of the righteousness of Jesus Christ as a result of His death, burial, resurrection, & Ascension. Muslims would not have received that righteousness as they have no relationship with God the Son. Maybe we could call them “honorable” Muslims.
