Des images de désolation proviennent des grandes villes de France : j'en suis très profondément indigné. Ces scènes de violence sont insupportables. Elles ont estompé les justes revendications, empêchent la majorité de s’exprimer, et font oublier les vrais motifs d'un malaise social profond. J'apporte mon soutien et ma compassion à tous les Français, manifestants, riverains, commerçants, policiers, pompiers et gendarmes, qui ont eu à subir cette violence. L’analyse ne peut pas rester superficielle. En réalité, depuis bien des années, nous constatons que de nombreux mouvements sociaux et populaires sont gangrénés et parasités par des groupes terroristes. Car en effet, ces bandes terrorisent les populations, terrorisent les commerçants, terrorisent les représentants de l’ordre. Ces individus ont compris que notre État est faible et que toute démonstration de force le fait reculer. La violence est un mode d’action. Samedi, le manque d’effectif de police et de gendarmerie, constaté dans de nombreux quartiers, a révélé un grand manque d’anticipation des autorités. Voire, ce qui serait pire, une véritable déroute des responsables politiques qui se refuseraient d’assurer la sécurité des Français. Entre la peur de la confrontation, ou la volonté de laisser pourrir la situation, rien n’est fait et des centaines de Français ont été laissés à l’abandon. Pillages, violences envers des particuliers, incendies criminels, destructions de biens collectifs : tout cela s’est fait dans une impunité révoltante. Il faut que le pouvoir recouvre son autorité avant que ne surviennent de pires situations. Pour cela, il faut donner aux forces de l’ordre et aux magistrats la capacité de traiter ces individus comme des terroristes. Des mesures exemplaires, constantes dans le temps, doivent s’appliquer à ces groupes afin de dissuader quiconque de se joindre à eux. Il faut que les manifestations puissent se dérouler sans que cela ne se termine dans ce chaos. Le pouvoir se légitime par l’autorité qu’il manifeste et l’ordre qu’il fait régner. À l’approche des 800 ans du sacre de saint Louis, je prie pour la France et lui consacre toute mon attention.

youtu.be/noSXUmwiF9M?si=RZ0F… Sang this at Kareoke at a resort on the Island. Historians and students wasted on booze. Listen intently to the first lyrics and you understand my humor. Haha!

Ouch, hope she is fine regardless... :( That is pretty cool. I noticed Rollmops is popular in Polish, i enjoy Rollmops, i was in fact eating this some days ago. One day i said to other Brazilians i enjoy rollmops and the guy figured out the city i live, lol.

If anyone is surprised by the mass looting taking place across France, don't be. The Left believes that "property is theft" and you therefore cannot push a razor-blade between socialism and robbery.

That is pretty cool. I'm not good at cook, but i enjoy watching stuff about culinary. I follow some food channels on YT. Like i said about the Polish immigration in the South of Brazil. That means we also have Perogies here sometimes, but we call Perogi.

Never tell a woman to go back to the kitchen. That is your worse mistake... ... Instead, wait a while. Absolutely no woman can do nothing for long. They eventually get back to their natural habitat to do any chore.

I applaud the sentiment but not the tricolour, which is the flag of the movement which caused the trouble

The scene wasn't so different 20 years ago

On this day in 1483 Tomas de Torquemada was appointed the Spanish Inquisitor. Here is an excerpt from The Companion to British History, which I edit: The Spanish Inquisition had special features. Set up in 1479 by Ferdinand and Isabella with Papal approval, it was in fact, if not in theory, a state department staffed by ecclesiastics with oversight of Marranos (Jewish converts) and Moriscos (Moorish converts). Later its powers were used against protestants. Its head was the Grand Inquisitor who, from 1483, appointed his own councillors only after consultation with the Crown. The Grand Inquisitor (1479-98) Torquemada, has passed into folk mythology. It was established in Mexico and Peru against strong local church opposition only in 1570 and on the Spanish Main as late as 1610; native Indians were always exempt from its jurisdiction. It was abolished in Spain by Joseph Bonaparte in 1808, reintroduced in 1814 and finally abolished in 1820. In America it simply faded away. In 1908 it was renamed the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office, in 1965 for the Doctrine of the Faith. From 1981- 2005 its Prefect was Cardinal Ratzinger, subs Benedict XVI. Propaganda has much inflated the Inquisition’s severity. Thousands of witches were burned at behest of European, especially Protestant civil courts over the centuries compared to 100 condemned by the Inquisition. In its 350 years, the Spanish Inquisition held no more than 2000 autos-da-fé, of which fewer than 100 were for Protestants. See AUTO-DA-FE DE HAERETICO COMBURENDO

This is what the barbarians just burned down in France.

Today is the feast of that self-effacing saint, Luke the Evangelist. He wrote the Third Gospel, and the Acts of the Apostles. I subscribe to the view that he is also the author of the Letter to the Hebrews; not only that but he may well have had some influence on St Paul's writings. All in all, the inspired author of perhaps 40% of the New Testament, and yet because of his authorial modesty we know little about him. For many years I have been trying to construct a biography of him, because I believe that, with care and a little perception, one can in fact detect more about Luke the man than is commonly supposed.

- Halloween nació en la Edad Media - Era una tradición católica - Se celebraba entre la noche del 1° de Noviembre (Día de Todos los Santos) y el 2° de Noviembre (Día de los Fieles Difuntos) - Esa noche los pobres (especialmente los niños) salían a pedir alimentos puerta por puerta, y a cambio se ofrecían a rezar por el alma de los seres queridos difuntos de las familias que los ayudaran <- Así nació la tradición de ir puerta a puerta - Las familias católicas se anticipaban a este día y preparaban alimentos de antemano para darle a quienes fueran a pedirles - Las familias más acaudaladas preparaban pastelitos dulces (que eran un lujo en esa época) y estos con el tiempo fueron tomando el nombre de "pasteles de alma" <- Así nació la tradición de regalar "dulces" - Este festejo iba acompañado del encendido de velas para conmemorar a los fallecidos, el tallado de faroles improvisados en verduras disecadas, y el ocasional sonar de las campañas de la iglesia <- Así nació la tradición de las velas y las calabazas talladas - Esta tradición se mantuvo viva en Europa hasta el siglo XVI, cuando comenzó a desaparecer en algunos lugares por el avance de la Iglesia Protestante, quienes rechazaban la idea de rezar por el alma de los muertos (por no creer en el purgatorio) y quienes prohibieron tocar las campanas de la iglesia por ese motivo - Más tarde, cerca del año 1900, comenzó a perder su significado original en casi todo el mundo, celebrándose el 31 de Octubre y orientándose cada vez más hacia la brujería, la cultura de la muerte y las prácticas vandálicas como el "dulce o truco" - Finalmente, entre 1900 y 1980, los medios de comunicación fijaron la estética de terror y el sentido que actualmente tiene esta fecha, haciendo que pierda de manera radical el significado que esta tiene en el inconsciente colectivo --- Este 1° de Noviembre invito a todos a rezar por el alma de las personas fallecidas y practicar la caridad con aquellos que menos tienen Quizás algún día podamos recuperar el hermoso significado original que tenía esta fecha y que nunca debió haber perdido
