Jacques Cheminade, former French Presidential candidate and president of Solidarité et Progrès, issued the following statement Thursday under the title "Face à Notre 9/11," "Our 9/11," after the bloodbath at the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, which killed 12 people and wounded 11 others. The statement is translated from the original French, available on Cheminade's website.

More than a million people surged through the boulevards of Paris yesterday in a rally for unity, described as the largest demonstration in French history, AP reports. Almost four million Frenchmen rallied throughout France, according to the Interior Ministry, including 1.2-1.6 million in Paris, in the greatest nationwide demonstrations at least since the liberation of France from the Nazis. President François Hollande said: "Today, Paris is the capital of the world...Our entire country will rise up towards something better,"
the Independent reported.
On the demonstrators, AP reported that
"many shed the aloof attitude Parisians are famous for, helping strangers with directions, cheering and crying together."

Washington runs things in Ukraine. It newest colony. Kiev's illegitimate puppet government serves its interests. Ruthlessly exploiting its people in the process.
America wants unchallenged control over Ukraine's entire land mass. As a dagger pointed at Russia's heart.
Ukraine is a pretext. Regime change in Russia the objective. Gaining another US colony. Eliminating a major rival.
Stealing its vast resources. Exploiting its people. Turning them into serfs. Isolating China. Repeating the process against Beijing.
Transforming nations into a ruler/serf societies. More unfit to live in than ever. Coups, assassinations, false flags and permanent wars its tactics of choice.
No nation in world history reflects more pure evil than America. Wrapped in the American flag. People manipulated to believe destructive US policies benefit them.

Civil liberties in America, Britain, France, and other Western societies are gravely threatened. Already seriously eroded.
Expect more assaults on fundamental freedoms ahead. Based on the usual canards.
Protecting national security. Defending free society rights. How by enacting police state laws against them?
According to a July 2010 ACLU report titled "Establishing a New Normal," Obama administration officials waged unprecedented war on civil liberties.
Continuing the worst Bush era practices. Adding more extreme ones. The ACLU discussed the following top 10 post-9/11 abuses of power:

In the last month I have totally detached myself from television news and media propaganda. My stress level has gone down to zero. I do however read alternate news sites and hear things from people that are involved in media propaganda. When I hear people talking I am astounded at the ignorance people have of history.
The incident in France, and the reaction to it, makes me believe I'm living in a movie script. It is amazing how the mass media can hype something and make people believe that they have been "victimized" by Muslims. I can imagine how it was in Europe when the Pope called for a crusade to take back the "Holy Land".

Arseniy Yatsenyuk is Ukraine's illegitimate US-installed prime minister. Mocking the office he holds. More on him below.
George Soros is a world-class corporate predator. Making money the old-fashioned way.
Unconcerned about enormous harm he causes. Plundering nations for profit.
Once saying "(a)s a market participant, I don't need to be concerned with the consequences of my actions." Earning billions from rogue investing. Causing havoc worldwide. Anything for a buck, he believes.
Imperial wars benefit him greatly. So do plums like Ukraine. Low-hanging fruit. Ripe for plunder.

In a BBC interview following the Charlie Hebdo Massacre, Jewish Chronicle writer David Aaronovitch advised those who do not approve of ‘freedom of speech’ to ‘move to Pakistan.’ It is not surprising to find a Zionist Jew advocating voluntary cleansing; after all, expulsion is a Jewish nationalist favourite adventure. Judging by Aaronovitch’s endorsement of elementary liberty, I am happy to announce that the appeal for freedom of expression is the immediate and very positive outcome of the disastrous events in Paris.

But I am not convinced that those protesters who call themselves ‘Charlie’ are genuinely advocating the notion of universal freedom. Are they willing to accept Muslim clerics exploring that freedom? And what about Dieudonne challenging the Holocaust religion? And if Israel defines itself as ‘the Jewish State,’ can we, once and for all, put Jewishness under scrutiny? Does Aaronivitch, himself an arch Neocon Zionist and prime advocate of the Iraq War, willing to accept that some may consider the Holocaust an historical chapter, not a religion? This would be a revolutionary shift because Aaronovitch has gone out of his way to silence any discussion of historical revisionism, Jewishness or the powerful Jewish lobby.

The emergence of ISIS during the summer as a regional war lord in Iraq and Syria led to the usual media hysteria about the latest threat to our turbo-consumerist societies in the West. ISIS is going to take over the Middle East and then come to get us in our affluent homelands where freedom and democracy are under peril from the Islamist bogeyman.
Such simplistic nonsense echoes the media disinformation about ISIS and its ''irresistible'' expansion across the Middle East. The media puts on the same tired old record. The plight of the Kurds and other ethnic minorities in Northern Iraq and Northern Syria necessitates the ''humanitarian'' intervention of American imperialism and its puppet allies in Europe and the Gulf monarchies.
Never mind the fact that ISIS is a creation of American imperialism as are the other jihadist groups that have been trained and armed by those good friends of Western democracy in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Never mind that ISIS and all the other jihadist groups were created with the aim of overthrowing the Assad regime which is seen as the stepping stone on the road to regime change in Tehran. How dare the Islamic theocracy sit upon the fourth largest oil reserves in the world and not give the West a piece of the action.

Sunday headlines said huge crowds massed in Paris. Protected by "unparalleled" security, according to AP.
Including thousands of police and military forces. Along the two-mile Boulevarde Voltaire route marchers took.
An "unprecedented tribute," said Reuters. Showing "unity and defiance," claimed The New York Times. "(S)olidarity following three days of terrorist attacks that badly shook the nation," said the Washington Post.
"Paris displays defiance with huge rally," headlined the Wall Street Journal.
"Paris urged to 'come in numbers' to defy Islamist terror," said the Los Angeles Times.
London's Guardian said one million "expected for anti-terror rally."

Waging it isn't new. Enemies are needed. When none exist they're invented.
Reagan denounced the "evil scourge of terrorism." Specifically state-sponsored international terrorism. The "plague of the modern age," he said.
His Secretary of State George Schultz called it "modern barbarism. (A) form of political violence. (A) threat to Western civilization. (A) menace to Western moral values."
GW Bush declared war on terrorism. To "rid the world of evildoers. (N)ot let evil stand."
Orwell said political rhetoric defends the indefensible. So-called wars on terrorism are wars of terrorism. State-sponsored. Against designated individuals, groups or nations.
The late Howard Zinn asked "(h)ow can you make war on terrorism if war is terrorism." Governments are the greatest terrorist threats.
US Code defines terrorism as activities involving:
