The West will either need to control its borders more effectively and monitor mosques, Islamic centres and madrasahs, or otherwise descend into inevitable martial law to defend its citizens against jihadists.
Following Paris attacks last year, France has deployed 10,000 troops to patrol sensitive sites such as airports, train stations and tourist areas.
And now France is creating a national guard to combat jihadists. Germany announced in early September that its military will now team up with police for joint drills in preparation of an Islamic State attack. Military patrols may also be seen on the streets in order to protect the public.
“France creates National Guard to battle terrorism,” by Sylvie Corbet, Military Times, October 12, 2016:
PARIS — France’s government has approved a decree creating a National Guard to bolster security against extremist attacks across the country.
The Cabinet adopted the measure during its weekly meeting on Wednesday.
The Guard, which is expected to grow to 84,000 people by 2018, is a new, enhanced version of the existing reserve forces. Following the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris last year, President Francois Hollande proposed creation of the force to include citizens willing to get involved in serving their country.
Defense minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said the creation of the Guard “is a response to the need for an adaptation of our security and defense strategy.”
“It is also a response to the patriotic spirit that was expressed after the attacks,” he told reporters following the Cabinet meeting.
Guard members’ tasks will vary from patrolling the streets of big cities to securing major sport and festive events to working in military staff offices.
They will be fully integrated into regular troops and police forces for a certain period of the year — from a few days to several months. They can be students, job seekers, employees as well as retired police officers and military veterans.
Regular military and police reserves now include 63,000 people.
Students under the age of 25 who join the Guard a minimum of 37 days a year for five years will get a state grant of 100 euros ($110) per month.
Businesses which allow their employees to enlist — up to the legal limit of 10 days a year — will be granted tax cuts.
Authorities want to be able to deploy more than 9,000 Guard members each day on the ground in 2018, through a rotation system……

Bill says
This National Guard will not fight Jihadists. It will be used to control the French population, deprive them further of civil rights in the name of “security” and silence those who are critical of the sellout of their security and sovereignty by their own government. When I am not wrong about this, let me know.
Beagle says
It’s not hard to imagine France cracking down on informed critics of Islam. That’s the trend in the West: kill the messenger.
utis says
I’m afraid I agree with you, especially if there’s an insistence on hiring muslim guards. Europe appears to be pretty hard on its critics of Islam. Does anyone remember the various “Red Guards” of last century?
Alien Republican says
Informally the “Red Gurads” are a reality in Germany. Left extremists called “Antifa” will viciously and cowardly bully and attack persons an property of “fascist”. You disagree with Merkel ? You even dare to establish a large Anti-Merkel movement and found a new political party, you will hear socialst saying that those “fascists” need to be attacked personally (Ralf Stager, Social Democrat). “Fascists” houses get vandalized, their cars get burned, occasionally assaulted. So far no one has been killed. i’m not a frustrated German but living in neighbouring Switzerland and simply apalled about how a government treats its citzizens but then again we live in a world were ambassadors get sacrified for nothing and the enemy nuclear capacity.
I hope for Trump. Whatever shortcomings he may have he is at least a chance for a change to the better.

You are very correct. NWO: Problem, Reaction, Solution

France: National Guard created to battle jihadists
…………………..,
Hard to know whether this is a good thing or not. It might mean that France is finally waking up to the enormity of the Jihad threat–but if France continues to let in hordes more Muslims, it could just be more whack-a-mole.
Bill says
It is not a good thing. The French government is not “waking up”. The existence of radical Islam is in France by design of the government, not negligence or lack of awareness. What the French government is just now doing is trying to mollify its citizens, who are waking up to the evil imposed on them by their own governments. Look at what this National Guard will be doing — patrolling city streets, festivals, and sporting events. They will be intimidating French citizens, demanding papers, stopping, searching and interrogating citizens. Worst of all is that they will being giving French citizens a false sense of security. What will that really do to stop terror attacks? It might deter or impede some of them. The terrorists, acting individually in accordance with Islamic dictates or acting in concert with international support, will still find soft spots and strike with knives, cars, trucks, IEDs and firearms.
What will this National Guard not do? They will not enter the “no go zones”, they will not raid and confiscate the illegal weapons harbored by Jihadists. They will not prevent terrorists from entering France. They will not squelch Islamic riots and civil disturbances. They will not raid and break up terror cells.
My assessment of France may sound harsh, but as I write, Obama, the Democrats and Hillary Clinton are doing the same thing to the United States and we are suffering the consequences. Our government has created the chaos intentionally and is using it to deprive Americans of their civil rights, establish oppressive measures, surveillance, restrictions on speech and assembly, and ultimately is using the threat of Islamic terror as an excuse to enforce complete civilian disarmament — so that no effective resistance to government, no matter how tyrannical it becomes, can be maintained.
Karin says
Heaven help societies that used to be free
Karin says
They have already made a huge problem as have all who opened their borders to let so called “refugees ” in. They will never leave but multiply rapidly. Huge mess has been created by so called blind dogooders. So so sad to see the crumble of peace loving countries being invaded by people who have no regard for humanity who will not change their culture but bring their hatred with them. No one is immune to this stealthy takeover of personal freedom which has been openly and blatantly done in full knowledge and view
Satan is laughing with glee
gravenimage says
Bill, and Karin, I don’t think we know yet. Best to keep an eye on this new force, and see if it will protect us, or just enable those that threaten us. Patriotic French citizens may be able to influence this, themselves.
Taurus Caerulus says
IF the FFL will be cleaned itself from its muslim recruits, I willed to join and help the frenches!
Operation Ronces!
France,Germany,Austria,Great Britain,Netherlands,Belgium,Spain,Sweden,Norway,Denmark, Finland and so on must KILL to not go under!
Taurus Caerulus says
Or I will support my local citizen army, as a special “EloKa”-Soldier! Jamming the mobile cell network and internet, so that the jihadies can’t call reinforcements!
Wellington says
If a Western nation really, truly, 24/7, completely, etc., wants “to combat jihadists,” it must finally recognize, and quite publicly declare, that all of Islam is rotten to the core since jihadists and Islam are tied at the hip——–and that so-called peaceful, moderate Muslims are not only the most clueless, gutless and worthless group of people on the planet, but are ones who actually give great cover to the totalitarian ideology which is Islam. In brief, I am heartily sick of the Zuhdi Jassers our there. They, in their own way, are as culpable, arguably even more so, than the most “devout and pure” Muslim wretches, for instance Abu Bakr-al-Baghdadi.
Short of this, only a tactical victory here or there, if even this, will occur. Yes, the fundamental problem remains, for France and for all Western nations, i.e., recognition that Islam is inimical to Western Civilization, is forever hostile to freedom and equality under the law, and thus all attempts to reform Islam, to think that it and the West can be compatible, are the stuff that fool’s or worse believe in.
davej says
We don’t need them in the streets, airports and train stations.
We do need them inside the mosques, madrases and no-go neighborhoods.
Matthieu Baudin says
“…The West will either need to control its borders more effectively and monitor mosques, Islamic centres and madrasas, or otherwise descend into inevitable martial law to defend its citizens against jihadists…”
The first part is essential and can be carried out initially by civilian authorities coordinated by a central command. Military engagement is necessary but needn’t take the form of generalised martial law. Those who claim to be religiously inspired soldiers have declared war on France and therefore their combatants and co-conspirators should all be tried by military courts and tribunals. Anyone claiming to be fighting and killing for ‘god’ should fit this category, not just those with specific allegiance to groups such as ISIS.
Baucent says
This is simply a sign of the times. Martial law is coming to Europe as only troops on the streets can stop Islamic anarchy and terror. The public will demand it sooner or later after further terror outrages. Something similar happened in Northern Ireland during the 1970’s with the IRA attacks. The downside is that cherished personal rights and freedoms will get trampled in the chaos. But I don’t see an acceptable alternative right now.
dumbledoresarmy says
ALL able-bodied young French people who are NOT Muslim *and* are aware of the danger immediately posed by Islam and by the Muslim Fifth Column *must* enlist en masse in this. If enough of them do so, and use their discretion, and quietly quietly do their best to inform the *unaware* among those alongside them in boot camp, then they may be in a position to turn the tide.
If they don’t join up, if they leave the field clear for Muslims and dhimmis, they will have only themselves to blame (the same goes for entry into the professional police force, and the military proper).
“Give me a place to stand, and I can move the world”.
If you are able-bodied and of the appropriate age… volunteer! Get the training.
If British: go for the Territorial Army.
If Danish: emulate Niccolai Sennels and *join* the Home Guard.
“Entrisme”, infiltration, has worked for the Muslims, yes.
BUT: why the hell shouldn’t it work for the Resistance to Islamisation, also!
Despair is not an option; despair hands the victory to the enemy, preemptively.
Look for your opportunities, and *take* them. I see this as an *opportunity* for the islamoresistant in fRance; for all the young people in Bloc Identitaire, for example.
Bob Smyth says
The new French National Guard could, more effectively, be deployed in other ‘sensitive areas’. For example:
1) Unannounced sweeps of areas of France with high Muslim populations. The ‘excuse’ could be unspecified ‘intelligence-based information’ that there ‘might’ be ‘wanted criminals’ who are ‘hiding’ there. Who knows how many ‘weapons’ and ‘explosive materials’ might be ‘discovered’?
2) Groups of fully-armed National Guard troops who just ‘happen to be’ in the vicinity of mosques after Friday prayers.
3) Going to known ‘no go’ areas to deliberately ‘provoke’ a response by ‘the community’. Use a few troops as ‘bait’, with larger squads of troops ‘available’ nearby to deal with the violent ‘response’ by ‘the community’.
4) Unannounced ‘weapons screening’ arches at train and metro stations. They could ‘find’ a lot of knives and other weapons.
The French National Guard need to be ‘pro-active’, not just a ‘visible presence’ at airports.
dumbledoresarmy says
Yes.
Good ideas, all.
And .. *every unit* should have well-trained K-nines as an integral part of that unit.
Praeceptor Maximus says
France is preparing itself for a civil war. The National Guard will be used to kill the French people, should there be an uprising against the government over it immigration policy.
JIMJFOX says
Thanks for that ugly conspiracy theory. What good do you suppose your ridiculous ideas do???
Russell says
Wow! many comments here clearly show that people are suitably disturbed enough to really exercise their imaginations in search of answers.
A job that everyone can do, in the legal scope of our blessed freedom, is to calmly and persuasively let as many people as possible understand the truth. After all , the evidence is now more than ever irrefutable, and any opposing arguments can be directed to political Islam .com , where everything starts to make sense for the perplexed. Because the tv media here in the UK , and in other countries apparently!, will one day have to answer for their collusion in creating and maintaining the illusion of a ‘religion of peace’, letting as many people as possible know the truth is the beautiful thing to do. So many people just watch the tv and don’t bother enquiringly further. Imagine what is possible: EVERYONE must be made aware of the simple Truth about the biggest Lie in history. Imagine the impact of that. No one needs to die, not from the civilised approach anyway.
Also, it appears the Christian church has really missed a chance to re-energise and expand its diminishing flock, by actually colluding with Islam. I would like to see some work addressing this craziness in particular, anything and everything to unify the people against this common enemy to humanity. Has Robert Spencer already done so? Time to stand up for Christians and Jews being massacred oppressed etc all over the world.
Vive la France !
JIMJFOX says
Seconded!! Best response here
Mack Bolan says
Sounds like the civilian police force that Obama has dreaming of since he came to Office.
I’m sure France wont allow the new security force to carry weapons. That being said, if some of these security personnel happen to venture into one of the Muslim only zones I don’t think things will go to well for them. Maybe Hollande is counting on young Muslims to volunteer to patrol these areas. They would be looked at as traders to the Islamic cause. Maybe he wants to have an undercover force to patrol Muslim neighborhoods and snitch out any jihads they hear about. I don’t think they will get any takers on that If they did have any Muslim volunteers they would probably act as counterintelligence against the government. Muslims are conditioned from the time they can walk to serve Allah at all costs. Although there are many Muslims who wont participate in radical jihad, there are fewer who would try to stop it or help police catch the suspect.
It’s to late for Europe, the seeds of it’s destruction have already been planted and the governments and people of Europe have been cultivating it for years. Anytime a country allows the unfettered immigration of a people who’s ideological “religion” is so incompatible with their own native culture and they are allowed to create their own communities within their host countries , then they are allowed to abide by their own laws, disregarding the laws of the nation, then I would say they are conquered. When you have no go zones like these where even the police will not go into without a heavy show of force, the country has basically ceded parts of their lands to the enemy.Make no mistake there are no true Muslims who will assimilate into any non Muslim society. Their religion will not permit them. The Koran will not even allow them to be friends with non Muslims.For instance, there have been a number of celebrities that have married Muslims , both men and women that have converted to Islam to prove their love. For the people who happen to work with Muslim or go to school with them, they may think that some of these people are their friends, but its all an act. The Koran tells them that it is perfectly acceptable to lie as long as it furthers the Islamic cause. Being friendly to their enemy while living in the country they one day hope to control, makes the process much easier. These new economic and war refugees coming from Africa have discovered there is no need to pretend to be friendly or peaceful. Their European hosts will gladly accept them with open arms no matter how vile they are. They have heard that they can leave their mud huts and tin shacks in Africa and as long as they make to one of the more generous countries they will be given a place to live and a monthly welfare payment to help supplement them while they get their little drug peddling businesses going.
If things continue as they are now with number of Muslims in Europe even if they stop all future Muslim immigration,some countries in western Europe will have a majority Muslim population within fifty years.
I’m sorry I went on such a long rant. This situation bothers me so much that once I get started I can’t stop talking about it. That’s why I don’t comment that much.
I really don’t think it’s to late I believe that at some point in the future people will wake up, but it will take nothing less than civil insurrection to drive the Muslims back to their own countries.
Russell says
good rant Mack, collective desperation has got to find a way: UK ‘hate crime’ protecting the most hateful travesty of a religion, pure George Orwell. We have to expose the sheer hypocrisy of this, undermine Islam with its hate for Jews, women, Kafirs, freedom. So many [like myself] used to be Left, the burial of the Left has
begun and will accelerate as more finally connect the two evils. Work on the wake up …
David says
What an incredible expense of blood and treasure.
And all they had to do to prevent this horrific situation was to STOP the inflow of the savages in the first place!
The muslims are a special issue for our time. We must ship them all back to Camel-feces-astan. Them quarantine the whole area. Let nothing in or out. Once they have successfully killed each other off, colonize with sane thinking westerners!
Richard Paulsen says
100 Euro per month to protect those with 100,000 per month allowing more muslims in and more mosques. Never.
Scamagreement. Typical decision by the powerful.
Warmac9999 says
Marion le Pen suggested a citizen militia independent of federal involvement. Looks like Hollande is upping the stakes. Islam is the problem and war is coming.

Hope so. ‘Marine’, by the way, not ‘Marion’

I can almost imagine what happens in a given recruitment office:
“-Jean-Pierre?”
“-Qu’est-ce, Antoine?”
“-How many recruits signed up today?”
“- Let me check. Adbul Salam, Ahmed Islam, Mahmoud Abdulah and several hundred Mohammads”
“-Trés bien! What could possibly go wrong?”

It’s certainly possible that this force could be co-opted by violent supremacist Muslims, Angemon. I pray it will not be so.
Veka Fitzfrancis says
If the French were serious about fighting terrorism, they would start arming their citizens with firearms and firearm training.

France is, I am sure, accepting muslims to military and police force. Here we go another waste of life and money for France. Problem will never be solved until majority of French understands that Islam is the enemy.

Unlike the conspiracy-minded here, I see this as a great response to Islam & hope the intention is just as it looks to be. IF you don’t believe in lawful Government [with all its flaws], then all you have is …

Dismally-superb set of Comments… (1) I had naively thought that a Guard was vital and would help. But those commenting, pointed out that yes, will probably be used against patriotic citizens, not against the insurrectors–given the temper of the times.
However, the comment on trying to reach citizenry at grass roots level with valid information–methinks it don’t work, on any one of the Triad of Taboo Topics: sex, politics, religion. The Counter-Jihad Movement in U.S.A. has been at it hook and tongs but how little has the “needle” moved.
But the utterly basic point seems to remain. The ONLY chance for effective response is Mirroring. Meeting the threat on its own level. A-to-Z motivation and action. And this will NOT happen for many reasons we can suss out. (*****) P.S.–the European situation WILL be repeated exactly, in time, within the United States of America. Virtually exactly. (Anyhow that’s how I connect the dots, extend the vectors, assemble the puzzle’s pieces.)…
