"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
France Just Set a Very Scary Precedent
Submitted by Melinda L. Secor on Mon, 2016-11-14 02:00
"On October 30, the French government announced, as quietly as possible, the creation of a massive new database that will collect and store personal information and biometric data on nearly everyone living in the country. As tends to happen whenever a government seeks to enact this type of 'reforms,' the law wasn’t passed by parliament but by decree on the eve of a national holiday. As France 24 reports, the new decree will affect 60 million people and 'marks the first time the country has collected population data on such a scale since the start of the Nazi Occupation in 1940.'”

Totally dishonest crap from the French state. Every one of the ring leaqders of the Bataclan Massacre were known to the police and intelligence services and yet they still were able to do what they did.
Kind of like 9/11. Actually, no: Just like.
