Me too, that was great and I laughed out loud too!
Sometimes I wonder who pays guys like Michael Lane.
In a way he said a couple of right things but always managed to present it as a mistake and not intended in that way.
Yeah right
A lot of people can see through that nonsense by now.

Excellent, excellent debate. Undoubtedly a win for SOTT and objective analysis there. Thanks very much for sharing.
Video interview of concert hall survivor:
‘This is the apocalypse’ - Bataclan concert hall survivor
The terrorist attacks on France have shaken the whole Western world. More than a hundred innocents were killed, and the worst took place at the Bataclan concert hall, where people just gathered to listen to music...but instead faced death at the hands of jihadists. What was happening there, when the concert turned into a bloodbath? We speak to a man who faced death and survived, a man who was inside the Bataclan hall when it all happened. Pierre Janaszak, a survivor of the jihadist attack on Paris, is on Sophie&Co today.

Geeze, that was heartbreaking.
I was hoping Sophie would ask about what the attackers looked like. She did, and while Mr. Janasczak said his memory was foggy (understandably), he did say that the one guy whose face he saw looked like a typical Frenchman... That was the only thing that stood out.
He also confirmed that they DID talk about Syria, saying this was because of Hollande and France killing civilians when they bomb ISIS. But he is adamant that he personally didn't hear anything religious, i.e. shouts of Allahu Akbar.
I think that Paul Craig Roberts is well intentioned and most times has a more or less accurate view of things, but sometimes he jumps the line of what's reasonable. For example above, he entertains the idea of "crisis actors", which seems extremely unlikely to me (and which has been discussed in this forum at length for other terror attacks). Apart from the difficulty of coordinating convincing actors all over the place, what would be the benefit when they can easily kill random people for real?
Then he suggests that Russia and China might be desperate to be part of the West, which is a total misreading of the geopolitical game if he actually thinks that. And he closes by stating that Western countries deserve real attacks, which is an incredibly unfair thing to say, considering that it is exclusively the common people who pay the price with their lives when terrorism hits. I understand he is angry and frustrated, but that last statement is way too much.

Yeah, that was a spur of the moment thing. When the host asked me that last question, there wasn't much to say about it, so my answer was relatively short. When I stopped I was initially glad that the host said that they would stop at that point, but then that Mr. Lane guy pipes up and the host tells him he has 30 seconds, and I thought "oh no! he's gonna have the last word!". I had figured out from watching other Debate shows that the host likes to give the "alternative" guest the last word. So it was kind of fortuitous that Mr Lane decided he would sign off with that parting shot because I couldn't resist a little riposte!

The riposte was priceless, made me laugh too. So many of these shows leave on a one sided note by giving the last 30 seconds to a particular guest, so that was a great way to disrupt it!
You're becoming quite a regular on PressTV
I just read in the Spanish edition of Sputnik that, according to the German newspaper Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung, the terrorist cell that tried to blow up explosives outside the Hannover stadium was formed by five persons and was lead by a German. Their plan included detonating three bombs: one at the stadium where Angela Merkel was going to be watching the Germany-Netherlands match, another at Hannover's central station and the last one at a coach/bus station. For those who read Spanish it's here (I haven't been able to find one in English):

What I find most interesting is how closely the plan ran in parallel to what actually happened just four days before in Paris. Hollande was watching a match in the stadium, multiple simultaenous attacks, etc. So the question is: why are France and Germany being singled out right now by the perpetrators? What's the message? What do Hollande and Merkel have in common that might be upsetting someone lately?
Didn't the Cs mention in a recent session that Germany was a target?
