What an effing tragedy. And I don’t buy for one moment the instant response of “started by renovation works”. I think they’re lying bastards.
Why wouldn’t there have been automatic firefighting gear installed at one of the West’s greatest architectural and cultural icons, even as a temporary emergency measure????
KG, I agree with that 100%; given the recent spate of attacks on Catholic churches (including fires) in France and the history of radical Islam, you would have to be stupid not to ask that question
Just wait for the mosque to be built over the remains because that’s what (p)islam does .
The Frogs will lie and lie about it and the truth will never be known .
D.T.
That’s not wild guess.
Safety manager talking about the Notre Dame fire –
“I’m a construction safety manager on billion dollar projects. The fire would be impossible if safety precautions are followed. There is a dedicated fire watch person who monitors the area after welding etc.If it was neglect, they already have the name of the guilty party. If it was arson, they don’t.”
One shot started WWI. We have sat in our armchairs and witnessed a thousand and more shots. How many more before we realise that we are in a war? People, ordinary people scratching a living out of life are beset on all sides. Enough! I cry. Now, where’s me bottle opener? Tomorrow we’ll get organised. That doesn’t matter, yesterday was too late. They killed God years ago.
Where were the night watchmen and permanent on-site fire-safety officers? What would a cultural treasure be left unguarded at all times?
Oh well, they’ll just have to rebuild and move forward.
C’mon guys. You can’t be suggesting muzzies are behind this?
They Are Us (apparently)
It appears that Macron had ordered that 50% of the workforce be “culture enrichers”. GoV, I think.
Some good news,at least some of the art and relics were saved when one man took action-

Migrant Faces Trial for Vandalizing Historic Church with Tombs of French Kings

Perhaps it’s just my white nationalist xenophobia, but Wabbit is beginning to sense a pattern here..
Courtesy by way of CBD at AoSHQ: According to the French police, 875 of France’s 42,258 churches were vandalized in 2018. And who is being blamed? “Militant Secularism.”

Cultural genocide 101
E.M. Cadwaladr:
We conservatives have let this ideological cancer metastasize for far too long for its excision to be simple or painless. For too long, we have been patient with outrages we should have fought to reverse. We have let our opponents secede incrementally from us for decades. We have been tolerant and patient. In our tolerance and patience, we have given up our civil society, our political representation, and our freedoms one by one. Our maladies won’t be fixed by delicate adjustments now — half-heartedly performed by yet another generation of narcissistic government planners and invisible elitist bureaucrats. Intellectuals like George Will and think-tanks like the Heritage Foundation have done us little good. Our condition demands a radical, unflinching surgery if we, as a nation, are to survive. Either the cancer wins, and kills us all, or we defeat it — and we accept the scars. Let us not pretend they would not be hideous scars. And let us not pretend it would not be a deeply barbarous and bitter surgery.
……What our ancestors knew, we have forgotten.

The Death Cult is really into pushing us to that point. I pray now more than ever.
It’s interesting, Pascal, how that quote above applies equally to the left and to islam.
Of course, they both wish for Man to die or submit and die more slowly.
Take a peek at this: http://bastionofliberty.blogspot.com/2019/04/quickies-important-project-has-hit-anvil.html

All power to you and Poretto, Pascal, but I reckon we have far more urgent fish to fry right now. Pro/anti abortion won’t mean a damn thing when we’re living under sharia “law” or when our free speech is extinct.
LOL. That taboo subject is well beyond abortion. The whole enchilada is on the menu.
As if in answer to Wabbit, Porretto hasn’t forgotten the more overt threats. A Just War.
He also calls out the Left who move among liberals as jihadis move among the 90% of quiescent muslim, but notes that dealing with them will be far more difficult and he’s counting on their natural cowardice to stifle them during the war.
Myself, I’d call out the Progs controlling the GOPe, and warn them of a technology almost ready that will feedback upon them when their lust for power trips a “circuit breaker” at a setting unknown until they get zapped. They won’t know what hit them and the most significant source of our current troubles will be solved.
‘The Threat to Notre Dame
Monday’s fire was bad enough; the restoration could be worse.’
President Macron’s speech to the French nation about the fire that destroyed so much of Notre Dame contained a terrible threat: he said that the cathedral would be rebuilt, to be even more beautiful than before. This might seem an innocuous, even laudable aim, but the announcement of Prime Minister Édouard Philippe that a competition would be held to design “a spire suited to the techniques and challenges of our time” should send a chill down the spine of anyone familiar with the efforts of modern architects in Paris, the effects of which can be seen all around the city.

I saw someone somewhere refer to him as micron. If enough people adopt it from now on it may hasten his ouster, increasing the chances the nickname describes the real damage from his term in office.
