The Notre Dame fire: Conclusions enforced before the evidence was examined

AT:

The recent fire in Notre Dame Cathedral has highlighted the attempts of the powerful to control the news.

The Paris prosecutor, Rémy Heitz, has decided the fire was “likely accident, not arson.”  When reporting his decision, it is easy to eliminate the word “likely” for the sake of brevity.  (Please excuse the sarcasm.)  Luke Baker, Reuters’s Paris bureau chief, tweeted, “Fire at Paris’ Notre Dame cathedral was started by accident and is related to ongoing work, according to France 2, citing police.”  There it is: the orthodox truth.  If you don’t accept the “orthodox” story, you are a “conspiracy theorist,” an Islamophobe, and a racist.

Deviance from the orthodox view must be silenced.  Fox News’s Shepard Smith invited the French media analyst Philippe Karsenty for an eyewitness interview while the fire was still raging.  Karsenty said, “Of course you will hear the political correctness, that it’s probably an accident, but…”  Before he could finish, Smith interrupted: “Sir, sir, sir, we’re not going to speculate here of the cause of something that we don’t know.”  Karsenty continued: “I’m just telling you, you need to be ready…”  Smith cut him off: “No, sir.  We’re not doing that here.  Not now.  Not on my watch!  Philippe Karsenty, it’s very good of you to be here.”

Fox’s Neil Cavuto had a similar experience in his interview with William Donohue, president of the Catholic League.  Donohue was skeptical about the accident claim.  He commented, “Forgive me for being suspicious.  Just last month, a 17th-century church was set on fire in Paris.  We’ve seen tabernacles knocked down, crosses have been torn down, statues.”  Cavuto responded, “We don’t know that.  So if we can avoid what your suspicions might be.”  Dohohue then stated, “When I find out that the Eucharist is being destroyed and excrement is being smeared on crosses…”  At that point, Cavuto decided to terminate the interview: “Wait a minute.  I love you, Bill, but we cannot make conjectures about this.  So, thank you.  Bill, I’m sorry.  Thanks very much.  I do want to let people know, and again we’re not trying to be rude to our guests here.”

Muslim desecration of Christian churches has a long history.  In her book, The Rage and the PrideOriana Fallaci relates how Somali Muslims desecrate Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral in Florence.  “The yellow streaks of urine that profaned the millenary marbles of the Baptistery as well as the golden doors.  With the yellow streaks of urine, the stench of the excrements that blocked the main entrance of San Salvatore al Vescovo.”  French churches have experienced nearly 2,000 attacks in the past two years.  There was an arson attack on Saint-Sulpice church in Paris, feces smeared on a wall in Notre-Dame-des-Enfants in Nimes, and vandalism of the organ at Saint-Denis Basilica.

In light of the large number of attacks on Christian churches, it should not be unreasonable to suspect that the fire was an act of arson.  There are also credible people who believe that the accident theory makes no sense.  Among them is Benjamin Mouton, former Notre Dame Cathedral architect (2000 to 2013).   MORE

  1. The only thing remaining is for the local authorities to issue a statement that ANYONE who deviates from the ‘official’ version is subject to arrest (like in Sandy Hook)

  2. The moslems are keeping their faces shut about this one publicly at least, it might have been ‘too big’ for now. Government, of course, plays right along.

  3. What is it with Smith? The guy was just giving a counter-opinion.

    The French police and government have given their opinion that it was accidental as a “likely” one. The wording suggests other opinions should be considered.

    Smith could have let the man finish and then reminded the audience that both sides are speculative and we need facts before ultimately determining cause.

    Smith is a shit-weasel, about what I’d expect from a queer.

  4. the fire is said to have started in two places, simultaneously- the roof and the North tower. Separately. Yeah, that sounds accidental. Watch the linked video from the former cathedral architect. He doesn’t see any way it could be accidental, either. Additionally, wooden beams typically have chamfered edges to minimize fine. I don’t believe it for a minute.

    They should restore as closely to original as possible. There is a sacred geometry in the design of the Cathedrals, and it will be ruined if it is not understood and harmonized with. Don’t let some idiot architect with no concept of adoration for God and his wondrous creation anywhere near there.
    While this is a video about Chartres, it shows some of the artistry and expression of the knowledge contained in the Cathedrals.

  5. Cynic – all the other attacks against French churches by Filthy Mohammedan savages weren’t proclaimed by the Filthy Mohammedan Savages after the fact. These were just the Mohammedans who managed to get caught in the act.

    The French are a nation of Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys. The French Gummint is desperate to cover up the truth about the Mohammedan arson of Notre Dame because they know that then, finally, the French natives will force Macron’s Gummint to face reality and deport every last Mohammedan from their country.

    Martel and Charles leMagne must be horrified to see all their efforts against Mohammedanism be wasted by current-day France.
