South Korean Government Offers Condolences to France After Notre Dame Fire

South Korea expresses its condolences to France for the fire that damaged the Notre Dame cathedral:

South Korea voiced regret Tuesday over the massive fire at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and announced plans to conduct emergency inspections of local cultural assets.
The flames damaged the 12th-century cathedral, located in the heart of Paris, the previous day, sending a shock wave across the world.
“On behalf of the South Korean government, the Cultural Heritage Administration (CHA) expresses deep regret for the fire at the Notre Dame Cathedral,” the agency said in a press release. “South Korea has nearly suffered a loss of precious cultural property due to the fire at Sungnyemun Gate.”
In 2008, the wooden portion of the gate, designated as a National Treasure of South Korea, was damaged by arson, with restoration work completed five years later.

You can read more at the link, but like the Sungnyemun Gate, it will be interesting to see if the Notre Dame cathedral fire was cause by arson as well. However, Paris officials are claiming it is an “accident” though they are investigating where the fire started. I don’t know how you claim something is an accident if you don’t know what started it.

I guess we will see what happens.

Yeah… the French authorities were quick to say something like, “We will be starting our investigation soon but it isn’t terrorism.”

That set off the conspiracy theorists… and rightfully so… as it signaled that the investigation would be political rather than factual…

…and information that doesn’t support the agenda will be hidden…

…such as if cheap Muslim laborers were used on the restoration work in a time when Muslims are vandalizing European churches rather frequently…

…because discovering any terrorism means civil war.

Let’s see where this goes. The BS has already started.

12 churches this month and over 800 in the last year attacked, vandalized, or burned….but nothing to see here. Oh and throw in 2017 Notre Dame attacker sentenced to jail on Friday….more nothing to see here. France will cover this one up as fast and as much as they can.

Watching the coverage live here got me to wondering as well. While fire was still out of control they authorities were saying it wasn’t terror or arson. I was a firefighter you don’t investigate a cause or rule anything in or out until after the flames are out and you can see the evidence…I am grateful that there was only 1 casualty a firefighter was hurt seriously but no other details. Had this happened a few hours sooner, I think it would be a far different story.

So the latest fake theory being pushed to see if the public will quietly buy it is a “computer glitch” in the temporary elevators caused the fire.

Apart from the fact that the companies which do this type of work are meticulous about preventing any chance of damage, I’m trying to think about the millions (or billions) of computers in the world and the last time one glitched and caused a fire.

This wasn’t Chernobyl. This was a metal elevator… intentionally isolated from flamable substances and inspected constantly.

After loudly ruling out terrorism while the fire was still raging, nothing the French government says can be trusted.

CH, it’s as though they think we’ve never heard of al taqiyyah…

Although, frankly, the secularists in France are just as bad. And they’re no better at lying.

Maybe “glitch” is a lingua franca slang for “Muslim laborer”.
