What Really Caused the Notre Dame Cathedral Fire?
American Thinker ^ | 04/20/2019 | Frank Hawkins

Posted on 04/20/2019 5:51:41 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Following the horrifying fire that badly damaged one of the world’s great treasures, the mainstream media is pushing the storyline that the fire that ravaged the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was caused by an “electrical short circuit.” But the story in the Daily Mail lacks any evidence to back up that claim.

A French judicial police official said investigators brought in to work out the cause of the inferno made the claims -- despite them not having been given access to the church yet for safety reasons. The official, who spoke anonymously about the ongoing investigation, said the monument is still being consolidated with wooden planks to support some fragile parts of the walls.  Only after it is fully made safe will investigators will be allowed a closer look in order to accurately determine the cause of the fire… .Only after (the Cathedral) is fully made safe will investigators will be allowed a closer look in order to accurately determine the cause of the fire.

Did you get that? “Investigators” brought in to determine the cause of the tragic blaze have not yet been given access to the burned-out cathedral. Nevertheless they are already announcing the results of their investigation. Even as the embers were still glowing on the day of the fire, French prosecutors were ruling out arson. On what evidence were they able to make that judgment?



Consider the Geller Report.  What its French investigators have reported so far leads to other very real possibilities.

In earlier reports, the lack of fire suppression was said to be due to the reluctance to add wiring to the roof area. The report specifically said they did not want wires there due to the fire risk.

Neither the French or the Catholic Church have the guts to investigate or suggest Islamic Arson.

They'd rather die in their cowardice.

On the evidence that truth will set France afire, making the Yellow Jacket protests look like a May Day parade for children.

No catastrophic insurance coverage and no deaths (that we know of), so no serious investigation will take place.

Ridiculous. A sprinkler system requires no wires what so ever.

The partisan media now must reap what it has sown. Mistrust is now so ingrained that that lies and subterfuge are now presumed. We live in a modern dark age of truth.

Mosques seem to have amazing wiring:

NEVER any short-circuits there, nope.

This just in: French authorities blame next week’s church fire on a clogged chimney.

They can be, however, relatively heavy.

These cathedrals were built to be tall and let in light and to do that they had to be as lightly built as the builders thought they could get away with. Essentially they represent a delicate balance between standing up and falling down, with those that were too lightly built having suffered collapses long ago.

Thing is, the builders did their thing through art and experience, not endless engineering calculations. So people today don’t necessarily know how much weight they could add before just right becomes too light.

It was most likely Islamic arson, it that will never come out.

The authorities won’t allow it.

The cathedral had been ignored for hundreds of years by its owner, the French government.

With a fire that hot, investigators will only be able to detect chemical traces. There won’t be any wires to examine and it is doubtful that the renovation work depended on computers operating sensors on site.
