“State of Emergency” Soft Martial Law Status Was To Be Lifted
TND Exclusive: Eric

Less than 24 hours before a man mowed down people with a truck in Nice,
France, French President Hollande had confirmed that the state of emergency
declared in the wake of the Nov. 2015 Paris attacks was going to expire on
July 26, without renewal. During his traditional Bastille Day television
interview, Hollande said, “We had to prolong the state of emergency until we
could be sure that the law gives us the means to counter the terrorist threat
effectively.”
Last May, France passed a comprehensive law that Hollande said “will give
us the tools which, while not comparable with the state of emergency, give us
the means to keep tabs on certain individuals administratively.” He added:
“We can’t prolong the state of emergency forever. That would make no sense, it
would mean that we were no longer a republic with laws which can apply in all
circumstances.”
The state of emergency will now remain in effect.
French authorities claim the driver was not on a “radicalized” watch list.
They claim he probably was inspired by online messaging from the Islamic
State, and even more draconian crackdowns on the internet are coming as a
result.
Regardless of the nature of how this event went down, be it organic
terrorism or not, the French people would be wise to wake-up and question
what their government is doing on the international stage. A form of French
imperialism exists today, and France is being attacked because it has
directly participated in the Western coalition that has destroyed Libya and
blasted Syria, killing over 250,000 people – all justified by a mountain of
lies and propaganda, including bogus claims about Syrian President Assad
using chemical weapons, and bogus obfuscation about the FACT that the West
created the conditions for the rise of ISIS, and then helped to build, train
and support radical terrorist factions (including ISIS) in the Syrian War
Theater once they emerged from the petri dish of a destroyed Libya and Iraq.
If the French people want to stop terrorism on their soil, they will have
to force their government to end it’s imperialism on the international stage
so as to de-radicalize the social milieu within the country that creates the
background conditions from which all forms of terrorism can arise –
“organic,” as well as periodic state facilitated and/or sponsored and/or
bungled informant/infiltration operations that are intended to track
terrorist groups, but ultimately enable terrorist operations.
