Notre Dame, which as I write is still ablaze, is of course at the very heart of Paris and, metaphorically, France too. One could point to other buildings in that latter regard, perhaps the Sainte-Chapelle, the Sacre-Coeur, the Cathedral at Rheims, or even that of Chartres, but Notre-Dame symbolizes Paris, or did, until the secular landmark of the Eiffel Tower was constructed.
Like millions of visitors to Paris, I have been inside Notre-Dame a couple of times (as I have the Sainte-Chapelle, and the Sacre-Coeur with its unique atmosphere and where a Mass is continuously performed, 24 hours a day).
Sometimes, the burning of, e.g., a great building, is considered a symbolic event, marking a great change. One thinks of the Burning of Rome, the later Sack of Rome, the destruction of the great ancient Library of Alexandria, the Great Fire of London etc. In more modern times there was the deliberate burning of both the First Goetheanum in Switzerland (see Notes, below) and the Reichstag in Berlin.
Other catastrophic events can be —or be seen as— historically, politically or socially significant. When the Herald of Free Enterprise sank, in 1987, the very name made me wonder whether the era of “Thatcherism” was drawing to a close. It was. On a smaller scale, there was even speculation, at the time of the Marchioness disaster of 1989, as to the sociological meaning of it, if any (because so many well-heeled families in London, it was said, knew or were acquainted with one or more of the 51 people drowned and/or others on board).
Are these events causally connected in some way with the movement of history, or is it that human beings, having perhaps a premonition of coming events, attach meaning to large fires and other disasters? Was the fire at Windsor Castle in 1992 somehow connected with the events that hit the British Royal Family in 1992 and in the years after the Queen’s annus horribilis? It was certainly the case that, after hundreds were crushed to death at Khodinka Field while celebrating the crowning of Nikolai II in 1896, the “simple people” thought it a bad omen. Were they wrong?
France is facing an existential crisis still not fully accepted as such by most. The influx of Algerians, Tunisians and black Africans since the 1960s became a flood, a disastrous flood, many years ago.
France and particularly Paris is now under siege from those of non-European descent, some of which may have been born and (semi) educated in France, but who are, except in language (and sometimes even in that way) alien.
An extremely high proportion of the population of France (at least 30%) is now non-European, and that situation is worsening. At the same time, there is a pushback by the (real) French via the Gilets Jaunes movement and via support for Marine le Pen.
“President” Macron, a complete puppet of the Jewish lobby and New World Order, has instituted a “Zionist Occupation Government” in France via his pop-up “party” (facade), En Marche, which consists of random people from nowhere who were recruited almost overnight, thanks to funding from secretive sources.
Macron’s expressed policies are to ruin the French way of life and French society, and to put in its place a globalized bastard-American culture. His secret policies (the policies of those behind Macron) are no doubt worse yet. He has allowed yet more hordes of non-Europeans to flood into France. Paris itself has become a poubelle (dustbin) compared to what it was only a few decades ago.
I hope that some of Notre Dame can be saved. I wonder whether France can be, and what it might take to do it.

Jews “have nothing to mourn“, says at least one Jew…
“France is in state of shock, the Christian world is outraged while muslims are rejoicing on social media. Jews have northing [sic] to mourn.”

Addendum, 18 April 2019
“Blood will stream over Europe until the nations become aware of the frightful madness which drives them in circles. And then, struck by celestial music and made gentle, they approach their former altars all together, hear about the works of peace, and hold a great celebration of peace with fervent tears before the smoking altars” [Novalis]

Thank you. As to your question, I think that Sarkozy is a Jew (half-Jew, I believe) and typically corrupt System politician in the “French” manner.

I blogged about him a while ago. https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/

Precisely and it is because Hussein was perceived to be a threat to Israel that the supremely evil Blair effectively murdered some of our nation’s best people ie our servicemen and women on a lie. Where was eternally drunk Tory ego trip boy Farage whilst this was happening? NOWHERE! I don’t recall him saying a single word against that disgraceful invasion of Iraq! He was too frightened of attracting the attentions of the powerful Zionist Lobby in Britain. So much for this phoney man’s alleged British patriotism! Even a couple of the more IQ endowed and decent Tory MPs were against the invasion such as Richard Bacon MP.
I really wish Farage would eff off and count his ill-gotten gains from sitting in an EU parliament he supposedly hates yet is also very desperate to be an MEP in! All Farage is good for is splitting the vote in favour of EU remainers. In fact such is this Tory gobshite’s skill at this that it is entirely possible that the EU elections could be a triumph for remainers if they can get a higher turnout, engage in intelligent tactical voting etc and as these people are lefties in the main they have experience of tactical voting and are good at organising it. If only cirrhosis of the liver would get him then we wouldn’t have to put up with the fact he only manages to solidify naive members of the public behind parties that can only help the British political Establishment rather than political vehicles which will genuinely challenge them such as those in France and Germany.

One of the UKIP MEPs, an eccentric Scottish one whose name escapes me right now, used to exchange tweets with me, mostly about music (he favoured the strictly classical composers such as Mozart, Beethoven etc, whereas my favourites are late-19thC, 20thC and 21stC ones, such as Wagner, Bruckner, Rachmaninov, Vaughan Williams, Shostakovitch, Bax, Khatchaturian, Ivanovs, Rautavaara etc). I correctly predicted that person’s election as MEP in Scotland. A Jew complained to Farage about a UKIP MEP tweeting to a “Nazi” or “neo-Nazi” and Farage must have told the MEP not to tweet to me (though, to his credit, he continued to follow my account). Farage is part of the System, a minor part, though anti-EU genuinely (imo…), and wanted UKIP to be a System party. The System, globally, and in terms of NWO/ZOG, transcends the EU matrix.

Amin had syphilis, like many Africans. I suppose that, today, he would probably have contracted AIDS. He was all but mad at the end, but was given asylum under strict conditions by the Saudis. Assange is lucky not to have had asylum there!
The British governments of the 1970s were softer in protecting their citizens: Callaghan went to Amin and all but kow-towed (in fact I think that he actually did) in order to have released a Brit who was in fact an adventurer and anti-white nuisance (though possibly a source for SIS): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Hills

I believe I am correct in stating that Lord Tebbit once said Nigel Farage’s role in British politics was not to get Britain out of the EU but to PREVENT OTHERS from doing so ie he was there to harmlessly channel the British people’s increasingly anti EU feelings into a useless political cul de sac which was then UKIP and is now his personal vanity trip of the ever so imaginatively titled Brexit Party. Needless to say, this ‘party’ has no policies on anything apart from Brexit, wont stand in elections for the House of Commons ie the ONLY place in the UK where a genuine EU withdrawal policy can be enacted from and certainly can’t be compared to GENUINE broadly-based parties like LE Pen’s National Rally in France or Germany’s AFD.

I tend to agree, though I think that Farage is genuinely anti-EU, at least the EU as it now is. That, if so, does not mean that your analysis is wrong. Higher or deeper-indoctrinated persons and forces may have manipulated Farage and so UKIP (UKIP without Farage is almost a nullity, most of its other leading members being pretty idiotic; my view is that Batten is the best of a very poor bunch indeed).
UKIP did not destroy the BNP, but it was part, an unwitting part, so be it, of a campaign by the System to do so. Not that I have ever held a brief, in any sense, for the BNP, but am just being objective. The one truly social-national party of any importance in 40 years (since the mid-1970s) was undermined and demeaned by a clever ZOG campaign which culminated in 2010.

Wikileaks did to some extent wake up people to Zionist manipulations etc, but (sad to say) most people are either too stupid or too lazy or too uncaring to bother much about Israeli moves on the world stage, or even interference in UK politics.

I think the MEP you were referring to is David Coburn. Batten isn’t the most capable politician in the world and, of course, he isn’t much in the way of a political thinker as if he was he wouldn’t be involved with UKIP but as you say he is the best they have got. To my mind, he comes across as pretty normal unlike Farage who is just an arrogant, and supremely egotistical spoilt brat. I am longing for the day when an MEP from another country in Strasbourg takes this arrogant tosser down after hearing one of his long winded rants at them. Farage gives a very poor impression of our country in the EU parliament for someone who continually bleats about his alleged British patriotism. Since WHEN exactly has it been TRUELY BRITISH behaviour to insult or mock other countries least of all those ones located in Europe? By doing this deplorable behaviour he insults and demeans our country. He is no better than a common football hooligan.

You are right. Coburn was his name (not an MEP now, I believe).
Yes, Farage is typical of what the City of London was back in the “loadsamoney” days of the 1980s, when it was first “globalized” (in today’s sense) via the “Big Bang”. That ruined the City and later, by boosting globalism and via the legislation then passed, also legal London, allowing in American (mainly) law firms, destroying the basis of the independent Bar etc. Farage is/was not exactly a “barrow boy” City type, but he is hardly the more traditional type either. A hybrid, as in his politics.
Farage stood out by reason of his fairly good oratorical skills and his general sense of personal style etc, whereas most UKIP MEPs were/are provincial ex-councillors.

Even complete fakes, liars, incompetents and freeloaders are given plenty of rope by the msm if they are “different”: look at Boris Johnson, poseur and charlatan par excellence.

Farage is a person that represents the worst character faults that our public schools sometimes produce and those that many socialists give as their reasons to abolish private schools in this country. Frankly, Farage has nothing to boast about as Dulwich College is quite lowly in the rankings of English public schools, has produced relatively few illustrious alumni and is nowhere near as prestigious as the likes of Eton, Harrow, Charterhouse, Westminster or a Winchester.
It is a great shame that when the Labour Party chose the electoral system for the EU parliament they adopted the worst form of party list PR ie what is called ‘closed list’ PR instead of ‘open list’ PR. Closed List PR means people can only vote for parties and therefore have to accept the order of the candidates on a particular parties list so they can’t give an individual party candidate their specific vote. If we had open list PR then the voters in the South East could get rid of this rude man whilst still giving their votes to his so-called ‘party’.

The younger Royals like the privileges of being Royal but don’t like the responsibilities as Prince Harry graphically illustrates. Just what is that man thinking? Some courtier needs to tell him quietly that he isn’t just a rich person in London/Windsor who can do as he wants but a member of a state institution that has deep historical and symbolic roots in this country. Yes, he is a man who is now getting on a bit in dating terms, is desperate to get his leg over a piece of female meat and is ginger haired which many women don’t like even on rich men but going with that women from the USA is beyond belief. It isn’t so much she is a half-caste as at least Harry could have chosen a non white from a country with historical and constitutional links to Britain ie a Maori girl from New Zealand but no he goes and chooses a completely classless ex porn actress from Yankland who will never manage to act like a proper Royal. Talk about rubbing it in our faces! Frankly, Wallis Simpson had class compared to this example of Yank trailer park trash!
He, whether he likes it or not, is PUBLIC PROPERTY and I find his choice ( if indeed this wasn’t an arranged marriage) frankly a GROTESQUE INSULT to the British people and something which in the fullness of time could lead to their abolition and Britain becoming a Republic.
