Paris shootout, explosions, casualties

There are more eyewitness reports on Guardian live updates, check out the coincidental name of the band:

23:35 Angelique Chrisafis, our reporter in Paris, has been talking to witnesses.

“It was carnage,” said Marc Coupris, 57, still shaking after being freed from the hostage-taking at the Bataclan concert venue. “It looked like a battlefield, there was blood everywhere, there were bodies everywhere. I was at the far side of the hall when shooting began. There seemed to be at least two gunmen. They shot from the balcony. Everyone scrabbled to the ground. I was on the ground with a man on top of me and another one beside me up against a wall. We just stayed still like that. At first we kept quiet. I don’t know how long we stayed like that, it seemed like an eternity. I saw my last final unfurl before me, I thought this was the end. I thought I’m finished, I’m finished. I was terrified. We must all have thought the same. Eventually, when a few gendarmes came in slowly we began to look up and there was blood absolutely everywhere. The police told us to run.”

Coupris, a legal worker. had come from Brittany with 15 friends to see the US band Eagles of Death Metal .

Jérome Boucer, shivering in the cold night wearing a white shirt splattered with the blood of the victims and wounded said: “The concert had started. I was in the audience and I heard what sounded like a fire-cracker. It was loud but the gig was very loud and I thought it was something that was part of the show. I think lots of people did too. Then they started firing. I saw what I thought was at least two people, then I fled. The exits were clearly marked and I just ran. There were wounded, there was a lot of blood. Blood everywhere.”

“It felt like a film,” said a woman in tears. who was part of his group.

“It was horrible, there were so many corpses, I just can’t talk about it,” said a bearded man in a death metal t-shirt as he ran down the street from the Bataclan in shock.

A woman in her twenties in fur-collared coat had been drinking in a bar closeby when people fleeing the intial shooting at the Bataclan ran into the bar. “They were panicked, wounded, screaming, blood was running all over them, people were having panic attacks, it was horrific.” The bar locked down but after police allowed it to be open again, she began running down the street towards the 3rd arrondissement to get away as fast as possible. As she and her friends ran, a young man with her in an overcoat and scarf said: “Crazy people did this. They were crazy, religious, crazy.”

Clément, an engineer, had been in a bar not far away which closed its iron shutters and everyone crouched beneath the bar. “Some people in the bar heard shots and the shutters were pulled down. It was Friday night. We were just out with friends for a pastis, as you do on Friday night. The first thing I thought of was the Charlie Hebdo attacks and terrorists. People were really afraid.”


23:47 Multiple sources: operation underway at the Bataclan

The AP: Three police officials confirm that security forces have launched an assault on the Paris concert hall where hostages have been taken.

None of the officials could be named when discussing the ongoing operation, which several officials said involved dozens of hostages.

They are saying that they have killed two attackers in a "successful" operation at the theatre. One with an automatic gun an another with explosives.

I agree Alana, this is plainly intolerable... It's just plainly horrible to see all these things happening and how scared the people might be, not to mention the sadness of loosing loved ones in such a horrible way.

I also wonder if they are going to link it somehow to the refugees.

And I'm also concerned about all the forum members who are in France. :(

(L) Okay, any other questions?

(Ennio) Getting back to knowledge and communication... Is there any particular area of knowledge that people should be focusing on?

A: Self knowledge and ones own weaknesses.

Q: (L) I think being really really aware of hyperdimensional forces, as above so below, and how all of those interact, etc. I think that we've done enough for this evening. I'm tired.

A: Help is on the way! Goodbye.

END OF SESSION

It is unreal.
But Universal consciousness will have a response.
 
AFP say around 100 people killed at the theatre.

[quote author=Alana]just because a leader started to be more friendly with Russia, or because the nation is not following the official line. It is ridiculous, totally inhumane, utterly inexcusable.[/quote]

Yes, absolutely sickening. Not only that, prejudices and hatred have already reached a critical mass I think. The migrant crisis has steered public opinion against many European leaders. If Europe won't follow the official line now the current EU may collapse in something far more dangerous and favorable towards US hegemony. More attacks will follow and keep happening until Europe is back in line. This is totally out of control.

Honestly what prevents them from telling the truth now that there graves have already been dug. Fight back !!! If Putin can tell the truth and life, so can you?!!
 
Yes, Sky News says around 140 people killed at the six sites in total. :(

And they are saying that France has been punished for their fight against the Islamic State. The story is starting to go on that direction. They said they are supposed to be suicide bombers.

Kind of a repeated story once again...
 
RT 160 deaths. For now.

Even if it is RT in Spanish, you can look at some videos and pictures. A cahotic situation, really. How mean they are to make suffer like this people. How mean.

RT mentioned boots on the ground in Syria, so are we looking at a pretext for this? i.e. removal of Russian dominance of Syria.

Yeah that's the kind of thinking I was having to all this, take Syria off the hands of Russia...

I read 1500 soldiers have been mobilized and the borders have been closed, Hollander won't be attending the G20 meeting.
 
wow, wasn't paying attention to news and before going to bed decided to check the forum to ear this? wow don't know what to say, it looks so unreal to see this happen here, this afternoon unlike every other day where i would rush to gare de l'est to take the train after school, today i decided to spend some time in the fnac in chatelet, i was walking down towards the fnac in les halles to look for some books and then zfter taked the rer to get to gare du nord and i remember how i was surprised of how so many people were waiting on the quai, i understand now they were going to the stade de france,... i don"t know what to think, it looks like i have to leanr this lesson now, it's funny that the other day i was telling myself i was lucky i wasn't there when the charlie stuff happened so i avoided the programming, but now it looks bigger, and i wonder how it would happen now with the disinfo and the programming loop... wow i did't even realise we were friday 13 / 11 !! so much synchronicities, i saw the habitual 3 military patrols in gare de l'est and telling myself how useless they were, well nowi'm concerned about what will come next with the programming of the people and my familly and how am i going to stand it? :shock:
