France - Paris topless activists cleared of damaging Notre Dame bells
They can not prove damage on bells, so how do they know what force the guards used -> "excessive force when evicting the protesters from the premises." - from tz27, 12 hours 12 minutes ago
France - French far-right press ‘incites hatred’ in attack on Muslim minister
Correction: it's not only the fact of far-right papers. It has become an ordinary issue. We observe that as usual in these situations none of the papers were suited.

It seems that France has replaced the UK as America's dependable ally. Thanks for the Statue of Liberty and Vive la France!

Americas - US opposes Iran's presence at French-hosted conference on Iraq
More propaganda & lies, more Kerry "Wag the Dog" tails more Iran bashing. More false labeling of Palestinians as terrorist More lies about Syrian culture & calling Assad's government as" a brutal regime". The truth is the US instigated protests to overthrow Assad. Instead Assad & protesters to develop a government reform plan, timetable approved by referendum. Next the US tried to destabilize Syria by dividing its secular society along sectarian lines. This required the US hired mercenaries diguised rebels fighting civil war & Islamic terrorist to scare the population. Again the Syrian people resisted the attempted coup. No matter what the US has thrown at them they remains united under Assad. He has kept his word, implemented the reform plan according to schedule. The Syrian people have never called for Assad to step down. But the US refuses to give up. Now its going to chase ISIS into Syria tp get Assad. What gives the US the right overthrow elected governments? When will it stop? 
from cmsemrow, 1 day 14 hours 48 minutes agoAmericas - US Congress votes to arm Syrian rebels battling IS group
The US government is not listening to its people. We, the Syrian & Iraqis people need help from the People of the Planet(POP). Protest US interference & demand your government doesn’t join a coalition that uses mercenaries disguised as Islamic terrorist to overthrow the democratically elected Syrian government. Demand the US & allies to stop arming & funding terrorist & coordinates military action with the host government (Syria & Iraq). If like the US your government ignores the peoples will, then you must take immediate action to impose a POP BDS on all American goods, travel, financial transaction & investments. Actually investing in developing nations including Russia may result in a higher ROI. Replacing the $, Euro M/C & Visa with bitcoin, domestic currency & Chinese debit / credit card may reduce costs. Wars aren’t fought for national defense but for corporate profit (MIC, reconstruction & privatization). It's time to end death & destruction for profit of the 1%.- from Pikku83, 1 day 14 hours 52 minutes ago
Americas - Scottish independence vote spurs Texan secessionists
Oh yes!! It would be wonderful if Texas would secede from the union. They are bristling with obsolete military facilities that the rest of us pay billions of dollars to support. At the same time, Texas is home to some of the most ignorant people on earth and they seem to send them all to Congress. We would miss Austin but hey, sometimes you have to sacrifice. We were looking to trade Texas back to Mexico in exchange for the Baja Peninsula but Texas is so polluted that Mexico didn't want it any more. 
from tz27, 1 day 14 hours 52 minutes agoMiddle east - Kerry says world will not watch Islamic State’s 'evil' spread
@jsanto There are quite a few muslims in Vatican. They have never been allowed a mosque. As far as Israel is concerned, we have seen how much protection they provide durring their last agression of Gaza.- from dannitze, 1 day 14 hours 58 minutes ago
France - France debates tough new anti-terror bill: what do the experts think?
@khrysenthem "Union europeenne" is a unique entity it's only one UE. It deserves to be noted as such. Forget about the "adjective" crap. The same rule should apply to "Republique francaise" There is no topic here. It was just my opinion/comments after seeing a photo. Think about it ! - from khrysenthem, 2 days 14 hours 22 minutes ago
France - France debates tough new anti-terror bill: what do the experts think?
What's wrong with that? these are correct in French. "européenne" and "française" are adjectives, so no caps here. Anyway, how does that relate with the topic? - from anbudmor, 2 days 15 hours 18 minutes ago
Americas - Scottish independence vote spurs Texan secessionists
@kdoc13 I hoping for a YES vote on Thursday; but having said that the above comment is way off the mark. Scotland does not have a different language; it has 2 extra languages, but pretty much everyone can speak English. There are probably more Spanish speakers both in number and per capita in Texas than Scottish speakers in Scotland. I don't see much of difference in culture. I think Californian are as different from Mississippians as Scots are from English. Not much power is true, but then they are only 8% of the UK population. I've never heard about any great oppression. It is not true that US states could never leave. The constitution has provisions for how it can be changed, and therefore could include a new provision on secession. I think it much more unAmerican to desire the forced departure of secessionists and to call them traitors; than to expression a democratic desire for a certain outcome whether it be good or bad for the US. My personal opinion is that we should break up into a few countries and then form another federation of those countries. States with similar ideal would be a part of a federal nation (like Switzerland or Germany) and then those federal nations would form a union like the EU. - from SammyStone2323, 2 days 15 hours 24 minutes ago
Europe - Scotland's 'No' camp in slight lead on eve of referendum
