Officials Merely Question 'Official Story' of Notre Dame Fire, TWO FoxNews Anchors CUT THEM OFF

The media is circling the wagons over the Notre Dame fire, and even FoxNews has joined in the enforced groupthink.

As I detailed in a prior article, the only explanation for Monday's monstrous fire and destruction of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is that it was a "construction accident."

This, despite the fact that, as French police confirmed, there were no construction workers on-site at the time of the fire, and that there had been a series of arson attacks and desecration of other French churches in the past three months.

But on all of the mainstream media, these facts are not being reported, and -- apparently -- can not even be discussed on air.

On FoxNews this afternoon, anchor Shepard Smith was dutifully reporting the "construction work" that likely caused the fire (and it may well have done so).

Then Shep brought on an actual French elected official, Philippe Karsenty, who one would think would have a bit more knowledge about a incident in France than would an American newsreader.

Mr. Karsenty discussed his horror at the legendary cathedral's near-total destruction. But then he merely mentioned the fact that it may well have been arson or even terrorism -- and all hell broke loose.

“Even the Nazis didn’t dare destroy it [Notre Dame cathedral],” Karsenty said. “And you have to know for the last year we’ve had churches desecrated each and every week all over France so of course you will hear the story of the politically correct which will tell you it is probably an accident.

Shepard Smith immediately cut off Karsenty

The French ruled out arson even while they were still spraying water on it.

Shepard Smith is Fox News’s resident liberal, so that’s not particularly surprising. At some point, they may fire him. But as long as he’s a news anchor, he’ll report only the news that he wants to report.

I'll say it because no one is willing to say it.

I believe it was the religion of peace that did it.

You see, anything that can be labeled a conspiracy theory is ipso facto a nutso-whacko absurdity, and "we can't have any of that here, or our masters will have our resignations on platter within the hour!"

So, no... "We can't abide no "conspiracy theories here."

Isn't it convenient how all the Powers That Be need do is make the description of their malevolence be described by well-meaning truth-seekers as something that can be maligned as a "conspiracy theory" and biff!   bang!   POW!

They're off the hook for any and all serious accountability!

There is a great series I discovered while perusing documentaries from the library. It is called “Civilisation: A Personal View by Kenneth Clark” . Mr. Clark chronicles the history of art in Western Europe from the fall of Rome to the present day. He makes the case that the most genuine output that a Civilization produces is reflected in its art.

In one of the beginning episodes he is standing in front of Notre Dame. He makes the point that while it’s hard to define what a Civilization is he can certainly recognize when he sees it, and that Notre Dame is an excellent example of it .

Whether it turns out this fire of Notre Dame was accidental or Sudden Jihad Syndrome, Europe has foolishly and cravenly opened its doors to the same people that have been struggling to take Europe down for 14 centuries. This fire is now a prime example of the fall of Civilization in Europe . It’s a good thing Kenneth Clark did not live to see it, even if he clearly saw the decay of art that is modern art.

I might add the BBC came out with a sequel to this called Civilisations It’s very much enamored with the utter decay of art which now is hostile to the progress and rational thought that was the hallmark of Western Civilization. Any surprise the BBC felt the need for that addendum to the original series?

“While details are currently scarce and there’s no known evidence the fire was intentional, it comes two days after 22-year-old Ines Madani was sentenced to eight years in prison for her involvement in a 2016 plot to detonate a car packed with gas canisters near the cathedral.”

in the past 24 hours, BBC has been going ballistic on France for backing Haftar in Libya. Haftar has, over severals years - with assistance from France, UAE, Saudi Arabia & Egypt - made alliances with the powerful tribal groups, and has been wiping out Islamist groups, including Muslim Brotherhood, some of whom are allies of the UN-favoured govt in Tripoli. think Syria, Arab Spring.

listen as spooky Lyse Doucet and Razia Iqbal go off at France in the first 13 minutes below. typical of Doucet, she tries to insinuate at the very end of the segment that some of the tribal groups are turning against Haftar. same old divide & conquer, which is all the BBC knows.

FIRST 12MINUTES 52SECONDS:

AUDIO: BBC Newshour: UN envoy to Libya warns against foreign intervention
Presenter: Razia Iqbal
Newshour’s Lyse Doucet has been speaking to the UN envoy to Libya, Ghassan Salamé, who warns against direct foreign intervention in the worsening conflict. We also hear from a French foreign ministry spokeswoman on France’s position within the security council.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w172wq4mhv0yqj0

btw I don’t have an interest in any of the factions, but BBC have been repeating this hostility towards France throughout the world on BBC World Service over the past 24 hours.

per article:
"Cavuto literally hung up on Catholic League president Bill Donahue for even speculating that this could have been a deliberate act."

Spaz Cavuto is a little worm. Back in school you know that he was the dork, the teacher's pet who squealed on the normal kids.

If this was jihadist arson, the only way that will ever be revealed is to burn another cathedral this week.

The jihadist know this as well.

At least Eastern Europe recognizes the danger. They had to live under tyranny for decades and are not about to invite it back in.

Amen to that! I was fortunate that my father started showing me Civilization, and another gem, Ascent of Man (Dr. J. Bronowski) when I was only 10 years old. It fascinated me, anmd I have watched it with my own children.

I witnessed faggot sheppard trying to stifle the truth. It was like watching Hitler burn books. It was sickening to watch.
