WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Barack Obama’s administration admitted it erred by failing to send a higher-ranking representative of the United States to the Paris unity march on Sunday.
He said Obama himself would have liked to attend the march “had the circumstances been a little different.” But planning began Friday night, 36 hours before the event began, and there wasn’t enough time for the “onerous and significant” security work that needed to take place ahead of a presidential visit, Earnest said. He said Obama’s presence also would have meant extra restrictions on the people who were there. (read more)

But, but, no-one from the secret service was ever queried:

…Alan Greenspan’s wife, Andrea Mitchell, is critiquing you on MSNBC.
President Obama spent the day Sunday watching football. Joe Biden also spent the day at home watching the playoffs in Delaware.

Front National Party (FNP) is quite a bit more “nationalist” than what UKIP is to the United Kingdom, or the Tea Party to the USA.  However, FNP candidates won the last election cycle, carry 25% of parliament and the Socialist French President, Francois Hollande, carries only a 15-20% job approval rating.

The refusal to allow Nationalist participation is yet another example of how ideological the Fabian Socialist’s are when it comes to the will of the people.  Both Hollande and U.S. President Obama carry the same disposition toward their political opponents.

[…]  Earlier, Le Pen had told reporters that she trusted the government would have the wisdom to invite “the representatives of a party that polled 25% of the vote in the last election”, referring to last year’s European polls, in which the FN came first amid record-low turnout.
The question of whether to invite France’s far right presents a dilemma for Hollande’s Socialist government, which is traditionally averse to any dealings with a party it deems “un-republican”.

Paris (AFP) – More than 700,000 people on Saturday took to streets across France in tribute to the 17 people killed in three days of violence by Islamist extremists, the interior minister said.

From Nice and Marseilles in the south to Besancon in the east and Lille in the north, people poured onto the streets to express their solidarity following Wednesday’s attack on the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo that left 12 dead. The massacre was followed by the fatal shooting of a police officer on Thursday and the murder of four hostages during a siege at a Jewish supermarket on Friday. (more…)

According to the U.N. this has nothing to do with religion (Islam).
(CNN) – French law enforcement officers have been told to erase their social media presence and to carry their weapons at all times because terror sleeper cells have been activated over the last 24 hours in the country, a French police source who attended a briefing Saturday told CNN Terror Analyst Samuel Laurent.

Ahmedy Coulibaly, a suspect killed Friday during a deadly Kosher market hostage siege, had made several phone calls about targeting police officers in France.
The alert came as the lone remaining suspect wanted in connection with a terrorism spree — Hayat Boumeddiene — entered Turkey on January 2, a Turkish prime ministry source told CNN Saturday.
Turkish police have tracked her movements, according to the source (more…)

French President Francois Hollande decried “racism and anti-Semitism” in the wake of the deadly siege of a kosher grocery store in Paris in his televised address.  The president also stressed that the actions of the hostage takers “have nothing to do with Islam.” (link)

Both of the Charlie Hebdo terrorists, Kouachi brothers, and the Kosher Market terrorist, Amedy Couibaly, contacted the media before they were killed by police. The terrorists informed the media their attacks were coordinated by ISIS training, and cell activation. In essence, they were saying there is more to come.

The brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi, the gunmen behind the Charlie Hebdo massacre Wednesday, and Amedy Coulibaly, named by police as the gunman behind the shooting of a policewoman Thursday, all knew one another, say French police

BFM TV has been in contact with two terrorists during the day on Friday. They claimed their actions. One of them reported a synchronization between actions.
BFM TV has been in telephone contact with Sharif Friday Kouachi, entrenched in Dammartin-en-Goële (Seine-et-Marne) and Amedy Coulibaly, which held hostage in a Parisian kosher supermarket, before they were killed in the assault forces.
One of the killers of Charlie Hebdo, Cherif Kouachi , joined by BFM TV, said Friday morning he was commissioned by “Al Qaeda in Yemen” and been trained by Imam Anwar Al Awaki. “We are defenders of the prophet,” he has said. It is trying to reach witnesses in the printing Dammartin-en-Goële where they were entrenched, our reporter was in contact with the one who is considered the leader of the attack against the satirical weekly.
