With France at first 'welcoming' the refugees, now called immigrants, and their agressive attitude towards Russia now changing to one of an alliance with Russia, brings to the thinking capacity of who really be in charge in the politics/government of France. Or, is it that the 'light' has come on for the politics/government of France to see more clearly than before. I have the hard time believing so.

Some be questioning the politics/government of Russia for alliance with France, and that Russia be controlled by the same 'factors' as France.

Is it to say were it not for France forming some kind of alliance with Russia, or more likely for France's support of Bashar al-Assad, the riots and killings in France would not have happened? I believe agent oliverhaddo pointed this out. I think some truth to that.

It be hard to understand what be going on within the politics/government of France, as the media say the French intelligence knew of the “jihadi backgrounds” of the Paris attackers. Finding it hard to believe the French politics/government knew 'nothing' of this, or the intelligence services took the day off.

Some witnesses describing the shooters. From the UK Mirror:

“The shooter was aged about 35 and had an extremely muscular build, which you could tell from the size of his arms. He looked like a weightlifter.
“He was not wearing gloves and his face was expressionless as he walked towards the bar.
“The driver had opened his door shortly before the shooting began and stood up with his arm and a machine gun rested on the roof of the car. He stood there with his foot up in the door acting as a lookout.
“I would describe him as tall, with dark hair and also quite muscular.

“They looked like soldiers or mercenaries and carried the whole thing out like a military operation. It was clear that they were both very heavily armed and the gunman was carrying several magazines on him.
“They both then coolly sat back in the car and sped off in the direction of the Bataclan Theatre.”

Looks like a professional strike, with some brainwashed 'pigeons' maybe taking the fall.

Maybe this could be a good part of the answer. Thierry Meyssan's essay, “The French Republic taken hostage", comes the closest to what be really happening, that is from my view after reading his essay.

Quoting in part:

“For the last five years, the French people have been hearing about distant wars, but without ever understanding what they meant. The Press informed them about the engagement of their army in Libya, but never about the presence of French soldiers on mission in the Levant. My articles on this subject are widely-read, but perceived as some sort of Oriental aberration. Despite my personal history, it remains quite acceptable to qualify me as an « extremist », or a « conspiracy theorist », and to point out that my articles are reproduced by Internet sites of all political colours, including those which are in fact authentically extremist or conspiracist. Yet nobody seems to have any quarrel with what I write. But neither do they pay any attention to my warnings about the alliances concluded by the French governement.
Now, suddenly, the unheeded truth surfaces.”

Yes, but is it only the French government? That is to say, what other entity/entities may be involved?
