Kevin Graham wrote:Lou Dobbs Stokes Conspiracy Theories Over Notre Dame Cathedral Fire

The Fox Business host suggested French authorities took a “political decision” to rule out arson as the cause of the blaze.



Yup. A political decision that on the whole it was better for France not to encourage evidence-free speculation that might energise the 0.05% of basement crazies to go out and do some killing and burning.

That sounds like a decent and responsible kind of government to me ...

A police enquiry is currently being conducted into the fire and its causes. The French police are EXTREMELY motivated to detect and pursue terrorism of all kinds. (Trust me on this.) If there is evidence to be found, they will find it. If they don't find any, it will be a fair bet that there isn't any.

No one knows yet who is responsible for the fire, but Quasimodo has a hunch.

The intellectually honest thing for DCP to do would be to inform Lou Midgley about this thread, but that would never happen.
Lou Midgley 08/20/2020: "...meat wad," and "cockroach" are pithy descriptions of human beings used by gemli? They were not fashioned by Professor Peterson.

LM 11/23/2018: one can explain away the soul of human beings...as...a Meat Unit, to use Professor Peterson's clever derogatory description of gemli's ideology.

From March 2019 Newsweek
CATHOLIC CHURCHES ARE BEING DESECRATED ACROSS FRANCE—AND OFFICIALS DON’T KNOW WHY



France has seen a spate of attacks against Catholic churches since the start of the year, vandalism that has included arson and desecration.

Vandals have smashed statues, knocked down tabernacles, scattered or destroyed the Eucharist and torn down crosses, sparking fears of a rise in anti-Catholic sentiment in the country.

Last Sunday, the historic Church of St. Sulpice in Paris was set on fire just after midday mass on Sunday, Le Parisien reported, although no one was injured. Police are still investigating the attack, which firefighters have confidently attributed to arson.

Listen. We all take a turn. I'm pretty sure I've taken my own and part of someone else's. Repeatedly. We'll all live from it.
