HISTORIC: Louvre museum's first female security chief, hired by first female director, become first women to lose French crown jewels

History has been made!

Over the weekend, a crew of thieves rolled up to the famous Paris museum IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, used a crane to get inside, used chainsaws to cut through protective cases, and stole nine priceless treasures.

One, the gold crown of Empress Eugénie seen in the video below, was discarded and found later by police.

To make matters worse, it's not even the only heist from a major Paris museum that's made headlines this week. A Chinese woman has been charged with stealing gold nuggets on September 16th from the city's National Museum of Natural History.

That brings us back to the Louvre's first female security chief, Dominique Buffin. The Louvre's head of security, Dominique Buffin, was accused of being hired not on merit but on DEI (Diversity and Inclusion) policies and of putting France's national treasures at risk: the daring raid has humiliated France has also highlighted long-standing concerns about the security of the Louvre.

Ms Buffin, 46 years old, was hired as the first woman head of security by Laurence des Cars, the museum's first female director, last September.

Not defending these 2 women, but this has to be an inside job or someone working for contractors that has inside info. Breaking into a second story window should have set off an alarm. If that didn’t work, using a chainsaw to cut into the the display case should have set off some alarms. If that didn’t work, a security guard should have been able to hit the panic button.

NOT CONVINCED THAT IS A BIOLOGICAL FEMALE

I wont argue the point.

These hires expose the destructive hand of man-hating feminism.....again.

A female Inspector Clouseau!

She probably suspects everyone and we'll soon be laughing at the other side of her face!

I wonder if they were any of those refugees they welcomed?

What’s required is a French government investigation that looks at not only how the caper was executed, but what, if anything, changed with regard to security measures at the museum, and if changes occurred then when did they occur. That is needed before assuming “DEI” is at fault. DEI may be at fault, we just don’t know that.

They were probably clueless because of how incompetent they were. So the opportunity presents itself for the robbery to take place.

Fox interviewed an art thief this morning. He stole a couple of Van Gough paintings in Amsterdam over 20 years ago. He thinks the Louvre thieves were too sloppy and will be caught like he was..
