‘There Was a Significant Terrorist Attack in France This Week and the Mainstream Media Hasn’t Even Bothered Telling You
Three deliberate, simultaneous explosions rocked a major petrochemical plant in France on Bastille Day, but as usual it is still ‘too early to talk about terrorism’.
Despite the nature and severity of the attack, which French investigations have conceded was deliberate and with a delicious turn of French understatement “malicious”, yesterday’s explosions at the Berre L’Etang refinery in second city Marseilles failed to make the front page of a single English-language newspaper this morning. The explosions took place on Tuesday morning and set alight two enormous petrochemical tanks which stood half a kilometre apart, immediately ruling out the possibility of blaming an industrial accident.
…French authorities now say they have recovered remains of an electronic detonator, proving criminal intent, and holes cut in the fence around the tanks suggest the explosions were not an inside job. It has also not gone unnoticed that the site of the attack is only 12 miles away from a major theft last week of explosives from a French army depot.
Breitbart London reported on the disappearance of 40 grenades, 200 detonators, and an unspecific quantity of plastic explosive which has left police stumped as the facility had no-one on patrol and no CCTV. The thieves were able to wander the site at leisure, prising open the doors of 12 buildings to search for loot before leaving, unchallenged…’
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

Good grief,with security like that why not just leave the stuff in a pile on the nearest street corner?
I guess the next target will be one or more French nuke plants.The terrorists will probably be treated to a nice breakfast and a tour guide when they arrive.
Nothing, no level of grovelling dhimmitude would surprise me now.
They just have to target the cooling system. Once that’s out the thing goes critical very fast. You would not like a Fukushima in the middle of Europe.

Peter Sellers may have left us long ago, but the spirit of Inspector Clouseau still lives on.
Aye, that it does Phil.
I’ve never heard of an armoury being unguarded, not alarmed and unmonitored.
You would be surprised.
Some years ago a friend of mine in the security industry was tasked for the first time to attend gate duty at an army base (no, that’s not the punch line, its merely the set).
With no details other than an address and a time to arrive at, he wandered on the base, past the gatehouse and had great difficulty finding anyone to get further instructions from. After calling out loudly for several minutes he feared being listed as tardy so he started entering random buildings, which to his amazement he found were stocked with small arms and explosive ordnance, none of which were locked away.
After ten minutes of fruitless searching for another living soul, he figured it would be better for him to man the gate and sort the whole mess out later.
It was several hours before anyone came out to see him.
Aside, this was not some remote base in the desert. This was a suburban base across from a cinema, a sports complex and a driver instruction facility.
Things have certainly changed. Or maybe in Oz it was always slack, but I doubt it.
This was many years ago. I figured after 9/11 that most modern nations would have tightened up security but obviously that’s not the case.
However, it certainly puts paid to any idiots who think “just a small number of muslims in the armed forces is no big deal.”
What are the odds they all end up somewhere in the supply chain?
My boss was an engineer working for the surgeon general of the Army back in the 60’s and 70’s.He used to do instrumentation and air quality surveys anytime uncle sam was de-milliing CB agents.
One depot where they manufactured nerve agent was protected by a five strand barbed wire fence……to keep the cows out.
I don’t doubt most of you guys remember this.

Who needs terrorists if you have climate change.

But the real killer is not the heat.
‘Deaths among the isolated elderly are a particular problem, and accounted for a big share of the estimated 70,000 additional people who died in France and other European nations during a 2003 heat wave.
At that time, “people were really caught unawares by the combination of rising risk and changing structure of society,” van Aalst said.
Traditionally, extended families have looked after the elderly in places such as France, he said. But social changes now mean many more older people live alone in cities, with no one to ensure they do basic things like drink enough water in the heat.’
