FRANCE BANS CITIZEN JOURNALISTS (BLOGGERS) FROM REPORTING VIOLENCE

This is one of the most sick things I have ever heard.

The Muslim riots never stopped in France. As I have reported here previously, there are an average of close to 200 cars torched every night on the streets of France. The Parisian police chief declared that they are at "war", and asked the state to provide his forces with weapons of war so that they would be adequately protected, and able to fight back. To this date, the French police have NOT been provided with the tools necessary.

And, here is the most stunning thing of all. The casualty rate of the French police force is over three times higher than the casualty rate of the American armed forces in Iraq.

And now, France is banning bloggers from reporting on this violence.

There's nothing to see here. Move along.

Screw France:


The French Constitutional Council has approved a law that criminalizes the filming or broadcasting of acts of violence by people other than professional journalists. The law could lead to the imprisonment of eyewitnesses who film acts of police violence, or operators of Web sites publishing the images, one French civil liberties group warned on Tuesday.

these statists who push for this law are doing it because they want to control the news.

the msm version of events is all they want out there.

"IRAQ IS A QUAGMIRE LIKE VIETNAM"

"CHENEY LEAKED PLAME'S NAME"

"MANKIND CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING"

"IRAN MEANS NO HARM"

"ISRAEL IS PREVENTING WORLD PEACE"

"THERE IS NO RIOTING IN FRANCE"

"BUSH USED INFLUENCE TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE TANG"

"SWIFT BOATERS LIE ABOUT KERRY"

all lies pushed by the msm.

and they want to keep it that way.

I think this is the first step in something that I have been expecting for a long time;

the complete and government enforced blackout on the truth in Europe.

this is the reason I started Infidel Bloggers Alliance, and now it is all gone.

Damn it.

stop whining; u can rstart IBA.

europe may go islamofascist or fascist.

or save itself.

saving itself is 1 out of 3.

Pastorius said...

Yeah, I know I can restart IBA, but it took 20 months to build it into what it was.

I'm sure it won't take that long to rebuild it, but damn it, I'm locked out exactly at the moment I anticipated.

I guess that's the answer to the question "Who watches the watchers".

Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité!
Yeah, right.

Arttu,
I used to know a guy named Arto. He was Persian. Is your name Persian, or what? I've never heard that name before.

Oh, by the way, good point about this being an example of

Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité!

That's France for ya'.
