Notre Dame fire.


Recommended Posts


Working with a few French offshore at the moment,they say they would not be surprised if the Government where behind Notre Dame being burned down. With all the chaos,yellow vests etc it is an excellent distraction technique to delay the impending European Parliament elections and hopefully unleash a wave of patriotism which could also help favour Macron over Le Pen (iirc) and the far right getting into power.  Makes you wonder ?

Doubt that and put it down as conspiracy theory. They could hit financial institutions with a large bomb to create distraction. Even hitler admired works of art and hid a lot of goodies away but never burned them. He only attacked what he thought was weak and not the gifted stuff because he thought it would be useful to his purpose of greatness.

Fortunately Notre Dame was nearly empty when disaster struck and the Firemen and others formed a human chain to empty the other artifacts that were still inside .

I visited there a good few years ago and to be honest I didn't really grasp the awe about the place. Nice architectural building but crowns of thorns, cross nails and Louis pyjamas didn't really tickle my interest. All myths and legends in my eyes. No different than yanks searching for leperauchans in Kerry or a monster in Loch Ness but tourism pays the bills.
