According to the text of the clause, “if a member state is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other member states shall have toward it an obligation of aid and assistance by all the means in their power.” This is the first time article 42.7 has ever come into play. French officials have opted to rely on the European Union, rather than Article 5 under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, although NATO allies have started ramping up intelligence sharing with France.

“What I’ve said to my colleagues is that France can’t do everything at once,” Le Drian said, according to The Wall Street Journal. “We are in very close talks with our partners to take stock of what we can do together. What each partner can contribute, so it could be on our own territory or another area.” Not a single objection surfaced to the request, meaning that 28 states have offered military support to France.

The Dalai Lama: “The twentieth century was a violent one, and more than 200 million people died due to wars and other conflicts. We now see a spillover of the previous century's bloodshed in this century. If we emphasize more on non-violence and harmony, we can herald a new beginning. Unless we make serious attempts to achieve peace, we will continue to see a replay of the mayhem humanity experienced in the 20th century.

People want to lead peaceful lives. The terrorists are short-sighted, and this is one of the causes of rampant suicide bombings. We cannot solve this problem only through prayers. I am a Buddhist and I believe in praying. But humans have created this problem, and now we are asking God to solve it. It is illogical. God would say, solve it yourself because you created it in the first place”.

According to the FBI, the total amount of goods stolen by criminals in 2014 burglary offenses suffered an estimated $3.9 billion in property losses. This means that the police are now taking more assets than the criminals.

The police have been violating the laws to confiscate assets all over the country. A scathing report on California warns of pervasive abuse by police to rob the people without proving that any crime occurred. Even Eric Holder came out in January suggesting reform because of the widespread abuse of the civil asset forfeiture laws by police.

Bloomberg News has reported now that Stop-and-Seize authority is turning the Police Into Self-Funding Gangs. They are simply confiscating money all under the abuse of this civil asset forfeiture where they do not have to prove you did anything. Prosecutors are now instructing police on how to confiscate money within the grey area of the law.

"Unfortunately, the FORM Act attempts to increase transparency and accountability through misguided provisions that would expose the Federal Reserve to short-term political pressures," she said. "The bill would severely impair the Federal Reserve's ability to carry out its congressional mandate and would be a grave mistake, detrimental to the economy and the American people."

The White House on Tuesday issued a veto threat for the bill because, it said, the proposal would politicize the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions.

The move comes as Los Angeles’ homeless population has multiplied across the region and Southern California is expected to be hit by severe rainstorms and possible flooding from El Niño, which could put unsheltered residents at increased risk.

The City Council also approved what members said were changes to soften a controversial law allowing authorities to seize individuals’ property stored on sidewalks and in alleys, though opponents said the new language continues to criminalize homelessness. It also moved to create a special fund to tackle the problem, examine ways to expand voluntary storage facilities and push for creation of a homelessness czar.

In October, the county Board of Supervisors declared a shelter crisis in anticipation of the storms that will come with El Niño. There are concerns that encampments in storm drains and river beds could be flooded when the powerful storm system hits Southern California. Supervisors also increased the number of winter shelter beds from 600 to 861.

Mr Cameron also described extremism as "an epidemic" in his first speech since the atrocities carried out by Islamic State (ISIS) jihadis in the French capital. The terror attacks, which targeted the Bataclan concert venue, the Stade de France football stadium along with cafes and restaurants, left 129 people dead in total.

Discussing what drives Islamic extremists at the annual Lord Mayor’s Banquet, Mr Cameron said: "Of course, this extremist ideology is not true Islam. That cannot be said clearly enough. But it is not good enough to say simply that Islam is a religion of peace and then to deny any connection between the religion of Islam and the extremists. Why? Because these extremists are self identifying as Muslims."

He first expressed his “deep sorrow for the terrorist attacks that bloodied France late on Friday, causing many casualties,” Breitbart reported. He then called the attacks “an unspeakable affront to human dignity” that shocked the world.

“Such barbarity leaves us shocked and we wonder how the human heart can conceive and carry out such horrible events, which have shaken not only France but the whole world,” the pope said. He also denounced the radical Islamists’ use of God’s name to justify the attacks as “blasphemy,” he said, and reminded of Jesus’ preaching about the end times and the coming “apocalyptic elements, like war, famine and cosmic catastrophes,” he said, Breitbart reported.

And one final word: “In our days, there is no lack of natural and moral disasters, as well as adversities of every kind,” he said, Breitbart reported.

After Friday night's atrocity in the French capital, which left 129 people dead, it emerged one of the suspects behind the Islamic State (ISIS) massacre was believed to have snuck into Europe by posing as a refugee. A Syrian passport was claimed to have been found on the body of a suicide bomber at the Bataclan concert hall, where at least 89 people were killed, amid concerns those responsible for the attack exploited the ongoing migrant crisis.

France shut all its borders on Friday night as the slaughter took place in the country's capital, with concerns since raised about illegal arms trafficking into Europe that could have provided the Paris killers with assault rifles and explosives. An emergency meeting of EU justice and interior ministers has been called for Friday, where France will urge the fast-tracking of continent-wide security measures already under discussion.

However, most significantly, France will also call for the unprecedented postponement of the Schengen Agreement on open borders, it is reported. A source told the Telegraph: "The French are going to push hard for everyone else to institute border controls, particularly Belgium, but across the wider euro area. To all intents and purposes it will be a temporary suspension of Schengen."

President Francois Hollande said vital interests of the French nation are at stake and there can be no further justification for narrowly-legalistic deficit rules imposed by Brussels. “The security pact takes precedence over the stability pact. France is at war,” he told the French parliament. Defence cuts have been cancelled as far out as 2019 as the country prepares to step up its campaign to “eradicate” ISIS, from the Sahel in West Africa, across the Maghreb, to Syria and Iraq.

At least 17,000 people will be recruited to beef up the security apparatus and the interior ministry, fast becoming the nerve centre of the country’s all-encompassing war against the ISIS network. The new forces include 5,000 new police and gendarmes, 1,000 customs officials, and 2,500 prison guards. “I assume it will lead to an increase in expenses,” he said.

He will also call for a "complete rethink" in Western foreign policy following botched military interventions in Syria, Iraq and Libya. Mr Farage's controversial remarks come in a public meeting in Basingstoke, Hants, held as part of his "Say No To EU" national tour. Opinion polls had shown that the British Muslim population was "conflicted" in their loyalties, torn between the country's way of life and institutions against "what elements within their organised faith are telling them", the Ukip leader said.

He will call for more to be done to promote ideals such as equality, decency, tolerance and the rule of law "which are the bedrock of our civilisation". Mr Farage will also call for a new drive to ensure that foreign contributions to British Mosques were made "fully transparent". In particular, the way cash from Saudi Arabia was spent on building faith institutions and educational establishments in Britain should be investigated.

Calling for a foreign policy overhaul, the Ukip leader said the current approach to military intervention in the Middle East had repeatedly failed. Too often, interventions had created greater instability rather than security both for Britain and for people living in Syria, Iraq and Libya.

Huckabee said unlike Obama, he wants to "get caught up in winning" in order to remove the "cancer" that is ISIS. But he believes Obama has become overly concerned about potentially offending Muslims around the world.

"Overwhelmingly, Americans realize that the #1 goal of our government is not to protect the image of Islam. It's to protect American citizens," he said, adding that the jihadists who are "strapping bombs to their bellies" to kill innocent people are Muslims.

"It doesn't mean all Muslims are jihadists, but all the jihadists certainly seem to be Muslim."

It read: “BREAKING: Death toll from Paris terror attack rises to at least 120 with 270 others injured.” Some people were understandably confused about the tweet: It is understandably confusing, with some people demanding answers from both Twitter and world governments.

However, there is actually a simple explanation - the @PZBooks account is a spambot that creates randomly generated headlines using phrases and words tweeted out from the @PZF account. In this case it merged a headline from January about the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris with figures from a Nigerian Mosque attack in November last year:

The result is undeniably coincidental - but it seems to be nothing more than that. Twitter has now removed the @PZBooks account.

Scott Terban said supporters of the destructive jhadi extremists are sharing the new web page’s address, which can only be accessed with special software. Anonymous, the fearless cyber activist group, threatened to wipe ISIS off the internet in the wake of the French capital’s night of horror.

The hacking group has published details of at least 5 men it believes are ISIS-linked recruiters and has closed down 5,500 Twitter accounts. The group has also claimed to have identified a 'high-ranking' recruiter living in Europe. But as of yet have not published details of his identity. But this will be much more difficult if the depraved terror group moves to the relatively safe confines of the dark web.

Writing on his blog, Terban said: "Given that this site has popped up today on the dark net just after the attacks in Paris, one has to assume that an all out media blitz is spinning up to capitalise on the situation." The cyber whizz said the fact ISIS has a “real site on the dark net” is “problematic” because all of its videos and files will be stored there.
