Port of Calais on lockdown after “explosive device” discovered in car

Jul 31, 2018 12:36 pm By Robert Spencer

“The driver arrived at the ferry terminal without a ticket or identity papers and demanded to speak to French President Emmanuel Macron as well as King Mohammed VI of Morocco.”

The demand to speak to the Moroccan King makes it likely that the “explosive device” was intended for jihad, not “right-wing extremism,” but this whole episode will probably be classified as “mental illness” anyway.

“Port of Calais on lockdown after ‘explosive device’ discovered in car,” by Harvey Gavin, Express, July 31, 2018:

DRIVERS are being urged to avoid the port of Calais this afternoon after police discovered an “explosive device” in a car.

Emergency services rushed to the scene after a “suspicious vehicle” was spotted near the port’s car ferry terminal, Lille-based newspaper La Voix du Nord reports.

A source told French radio network France Info the driver of the car had threatened to blow himself up along with his vehicle.

Explosives experts were dispatched to the scene and a security cordon put in place shortly after 1pm local time (noon BST).

Witnesses reported hearing an explosion at around 2.30pm local time (1.30pm BST) as the suspect device was destroyed in a controlled blast.

Pictures from the scene show the suspect vehicle – a black VW car – stopped at a security checkpoint.

France Info reports the driver arrived at the ferry terminal without a ticket or identity papers and demanded to speak to French President Emmanuel Macron as well as King Mohammed VI of Morocco….

    It won’t be long before civil war breaks out in France, Italy and Germany…between Muslim invaders and the natives of Europe.

    • jayell says

      I think it’s actually already started, although it seems to be a bit of a ‘phoney war’ at the moment as the natives are still largely behaving themselves (even if the muslims clearly aren’t) under the delusion that they’re still ultimately in charge of their own countries. When evidence of the rot spreads a bit more and that cosy little fantasy consequently collapses, and maybe a bit more inconvenient ‘classified information’ gets out into the mainstream than certain elements would like (as is happening now), the authorities will be faced with rediscovering that (a) they only rule with the consent of the majority, (b) you can’t fool the people for ever, and (c) Stasi tactics have a habit of exploding in the face eventually. And it won’t help that our PC and muslim friends have overplayed their ‘islamophobia’ card far too soon, because, like the Boy Who Cried ‘Wolf’, when the real reaction begins they will discover that they’ve already exhausted their blackmail bargaining chips and consequently all the civilised options.

          French law allows any person to arrest a person having been caught in flagrante delicto committing a crime punishable by a jail or prison term, and to conduct that person before the nearest officer of judiciary police – in modern practice, they would rather call the police after performing the arrest.

          “standing by”…seems to be the thing of the day. I can remember the time that if someone saw rape or any other, Muslim approved act being done, would, without hesitation, jump in and take out the perpetrator or at the least make an effort to do do.. What has happened to the once great people of the free world? Are they just “standing by”
          as they seem yo be doing doing with the attempted Muslim take over.

          I’m a small and unimposing person, but even I have yelled at criminals and told them that the police have been called and are on their way. There is virtually no one who cannot at least do this. Standing by and saying and doing nothing is indefensible.

          “The future is female”, according to a modern feminist not so long ago, so modern western civilisation now reflects the ideals, achievements and aspirations of the strong, liberated, modern Western woman. No need to say any more – just look at Sweden.

    Oh and somebody explain to me why it was a good idea to give Calais, the gateway to England, back to the French. While you’re at it explain to me the wisdom of Attlee’s surrender of India, which might otherwise come in handy in dealing with the mullahs of Persia, or how the Muslims can possibly govern “Indonesia” worse than the Muslim natives.

    • R Russell says

      Jul 31, 2018 at 3:14 pm

      I can do some explaining. The Bible tells us that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed.
      The UK reneged on several promises from the Balfour Declaration onwards.
      Thus they brought the loss of the Commonwealth on themselves. It was judgment for their treatment of the potential Israel. They still aren’t learning and unless there is a Christian Revival, then more judgment by sharia will be next.

      Calais going back to the French is (I believe) linked to Brexit. And, some time ago, I was informed in some detail by someone clued-up about these things that India had been becoming a bit of an expensive luxury even before WW2, so all good things have to come to an end when the money runs out.

      @elee ,

      What do you mean by ”surrender of India by Attlee” ?

      Europeans the british , french , dutch , portugese are all INVADERS. Similar to muslims who invaded Bharath.

      Now that it is boomeranging in an extremely anaemic way on british etc aiyo aiyo noises are heard in loud decibels.

      Svami Vivekananda states ” It is only BARBARIANS who invade”.

      • Lavéritétriomphera says

        Aug 1, 2018 at 4:21 am

        Very true, but the INVADERS often deny that they are invaders, that is the case for instance for the Muslims. But nowadays these Muslims are Indian even if Islamic invasions were probably the worst of all.
        I do not know how the situation is in India but in France a war could break out between Muslims and ex-Muslims.

        • Janakiraman Rajalakshmi says

          Aug 1, 2018 at 6:43 am

          Why pick on Muslims alone ?

          Do the british barbarians ever admit they invaded & colonized ? Certainly not.

          What about amrikAAA ? Why this unhealthy itch to tinker in rest of the Sovereign Countries around calling for regime change ? That is the cause for so many Syrians , Libyans etc fleeing & seeking refuse in Europe.

          Christians stand forfeited of their very rights to fulminate at & blame Muslims. Genocides after genocides all over the world perpetrated by uber sanctimonious christians. No one is in awe of your democracyEEEE. & your jealous angry converting jeeeeesusSSS .

        • Lavéritétriomphera says

          Aug 1, 2018 at 7:20 am

          Do not put words in my mouth, because I did not say that Muslims were the only ones to invade other countries. I don’t care about your cogitation with Western democracy, bigotry or anything like that.

          My reply was addressed to @elee who presumes India belongs / belonged to uk.

          You chipped in with your remarks on ”invaders” picking on muslims. Then followed my reply. Rereread again.

          //mind your own business//

          Look who is pontificating:-((

          Hindus never invaded , do not invade screaming ” My God is the only God only Saviour…”.

          //it is possible that you are a Muslim disguised as a Hindu//

          Betrays a SICK doodling mind.

          Why should I disguise ? I am a Hindu writing in my Name.

          It is various christians who don(ned) saffron robes , paint their skins brown calling themselves ”roman brahmins” …& propagating mendacious Aryan versus Dravidian theories , that Yajur Veda is (sic)”yesur veda coming from yesu ( jesus in Indian language becomes yesu) yada yada.

          YES , I do find many laudable qualities in Muslims. Their refusal to grovel before christians & the masterly ways they hit back. I wish pusillanimous Hindus learn from them. Instead of nodding their heads with vokay vokay sir vokay sir before christian bullies.

          Nila a French-speaking Hindu living in India, warned us that Muslims impersonate Hindus.

          We all need to be vigilant, because infiltration is an Islamic stratagem of war, they usurp the idendity of Hindus Christians or atheists to sown doubt in our minds. But they are easy to unmask, I am sure that Janakiraman Rajalakshmi lies when he says Hindus are pusillanimous and they bow down before Christians or even Muslims. In my opinion this is a wishful thinking but perhaps he believes in his claptrap.

    Is it a “Highly religious area”?Do journalists have to ask permission to investigate?
    Will the police allow them to?

    Journalist Can I go down that road?

    Officer No.It’s a HIGHLY RELIGIOUS area.The muslims are there and it’s not safe.

    *
    Journalist What about that road?Can I go down that road?

    Officer Dunno.Maybe.It’s a HIGHLY NONRELIGIOUS area;Mostly atheists,agnostics,religious apostates and humanists and there are some communists and militant atheists there too;that’s the HIGHLY ANTIRELIGOUS area.But it should be safe.You can reason with them at least.

    *
    Journalist So what about that side road there?can I go down that road?

    Officer Sure.Of course you can!It’s a HIGHLY IRRELIGIOUS area.That’s the best part of town.

    Calais is filled by economic migrants who have been persuaded that they have a right to invade Europe and get away from the stinking, totalitarian, corrupt Islamic hell holes created by Sharia law and the amoral ruling families.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 1, 2018 at 6:16 pm

      Mortimer, most of these Muslims are aggressive invaders bent on imposing Islam, not economic migrants.

      What does trying to blow up the channel tunnel have to do with wanting a better life–unless your view of a better life involves imposing Shari’ah law?

      • StellaSaidSo says

        Aug 2, 2018 at 2:09 pm

        GI, Mortimer is right – Calais is filled with economic migrants who want a ‘better life’ at the expense of the British tax-payer. The term ‘gimmegrants’ is very apt. While some certainly are jihadis committed to imposing sharia on the host country, most are too lazy and/or stupid to be actively involved in pursuing such a project.

        • gravenimage says

    IMO it was always a mistake to build the “Chunnel.” Throughout its history, the English Channel has been a bulwark against the invasion of England. This natural safeguard is no longer there. I hope the English have it wired with explosives in the event they need to demolish it. However, it is only a matter of time before a Muslim or two manage to bring a couple of bombs into it and blow it to smithereens. It was always a bad idea.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 1, 2018 at 6:42 pm

      Agreed, Carolyne. I had worried about that, as well.
