The mainstream media for the most part has moved on. But there are a few more gleanings to be had, of perhaps the most interesting comes from the Daily Mirror, which labels al-Hilli an extremist on the grounds that he was against the war in Iraq, disapproved of the behaviour of Israel and had doubts over 9/11 – which makes a great deal of the population “extremist”. But the Mirror has the only mainstream mention I can find of the possibility that Mossad carried out the killings. Given Mr al-Hilli’s profession, the fact he is a Shia, the fact he had visited Iran, and the fact that Israel heas been assassinating scientists connected to Iran’s nuclear programme, this has to be a possibility. There are of course other possibilities, but to ignore that one is ludicrous.
Which leads me to the argument of Daily Mail crime reporter, Stephen Wright, that the French police should concentrate on the idea that this was a killing by a random Alpine madman or racist bigot. Perfectly possible, of course, and the anti-Muslim killings in Marseille might be as much a precedent as Mossad killings of scientists. But why the lone madman idea should be the preferred investigation, Mr Wright does not explain. What I did find interesting from a man who has visited many crime scenes are his repeated insinuations that the French authorities are not really trying very hard to find who the killers were, for example:
the crime scene would have been sealed off for a minimum of seven to ten days, to allow detailed forensic searches for DNA, fibres, tyre marks and shoe prints to take place.
Nearby bushes and vegetation would have been searched for any discarded food and cigarette butts left by the killer, not to mention the murder weapon.
But from what I saw at the end of last week, no such searches had taken place and potentially vital evidence could have been missed. House to house inquiries in the local area had yet to be completed and police had not made specific public appeals for information about the crime. No reward had been put up for information about the shootings.
Behind the scenes, what other short cuts have been taken? Have police seized data identifying all mobile phones being used in the vicinity of the murders that day?
The idea that the French authorities – who are quite as capable as any other of solving cases – are not really trying very hard is an interesting one.
Which leads me to this part of a remarkable article from the Daily Telegraph, which if true points us back towards a hit squad and discounts the ides that there was only one gun:
Claims that only one gun was used to kill everybody is likely to be disproved by full ballistics test results which are out in October.
While the 25 spent bullet cartridges found at the scene are all of the same kind, they could in fact have come from a number of weapons of the same make.
This throws up the possibility of a well-equipped, highly-trained gang circling the car and then opening fire.
Both children were left alive by the killers, who had clinically pumped bullets into everybody else, including five into Mr Mollier.
Zainab was found staggering around outside the car by Brett Martin, a British former RAF serviceman who cycled by moments after the attack, but he saw nobody except the schoolgirl.
Her sister, Zeena, was found unscathed and hiding in the car eight hours later.
Both sisters are now back in Britain, and are believed to have been reunited at a secret location near London.
There are of course a number of hit squad options, both governmental and private, which might well involve iraqi or Iranian interests – on both of which the mainstream media have been very happy to speculate while almost unanimously ignoring Israel.
But what interests me is why the Daily Telegraph choose, in the face of all the evidence, to minimise the horrific nature of the attack by stating that “Both children were left alive by the killers”? Zainab was not left alive by design, she was shot in the chest and her skull was stove in, which presumably was a pretty serious attempt to kill a seven year-old child. The other girl might very well have succeeded in hiding from the killers under her mother’s skirts, as she hid from the first rescuers, and then for eight hours from the police.
The Telegraph article claims to be informed by sources close to the investigation. So they believe it was a group of people, and feel motivated to absolve those people from child-killing. Now what could the Daily Telegraph be thinking?
French Government throw their towel in
because they have been tumbled
as the populace have come to understand their handling of the economy is abysmal!!!
President Hollande came to power some sixteen weeks before the Slaughter of The Horses Massacre.
I wonder if he was in the loop before this event unfolded?
Has he been brief on the lies spread by Eric Maillaud?
There are calls for him to step down and give the people a new say,
if this happens, which it may,
the people should ask what really happened at The Chevaline Massacre,
is there a secret state operating in France,
why is the French state so duplicitous?

25 Aug, 2014 – 1:36 pm I am sure it hasn’t escaped your notice by (another!) strange and perhaps convenient coincidence Hollande was out of the country on the day the event happened. In Britain on a (state?) visit or just an ordinary one – I forget now. Next time he visited, a bit over a year later, Cameron and he met in an airforce hanger and had a pub lunch. Did Chevaline get mentioned on the second one and was the nature of the visit a diplomatic snub because the Brits were so pissed off over it? We shall have to wait a long time to find out I’m thinking.
Incidentally soon after the event I posed 40 questions to Hollande about the affair. (http://logophere.com/WordPress/?p=252) Although time has revealed more, many of the questions remain relevant and unanswered – from him or anyone else.
Tim V,
it had escaped my notice that the French President was in England at the exact time The Slaughter of The Horses events were unfolding, I came to this story very late and have been reading through the pages, now up to page 44,
it takes a long time ( for me, not a quick reader).
Tim, perhaps you would re-appraise your questions to President Hollande, in “the light”
of the last two years, also bearing in mind he is the least popular leader, since the war!!!
Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have

losing months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any methods to stop hackers?
Greetings! Very helpful advice in this particular article!
It is the little changes that produce the most significant changes.
Thanks a lot for sharing!
The Hapless Hollande is not alone in Europe,
now the Kiev Regime has disolved parliament,
so what goes for Belgium or Italy?

If this massacre was planned a while in advance,
it could be, it was timed to occur after a new (and incompetent)president had taken office and for good measure whilst the hapless Hollande was visiting David Cameron.
If this was undertaken by actors of the French State or with their colusion,
this would indicate a state within a state
and be a rather serious knock at democracy.
Appreciate this post. Let me try it out.
Tim,
or
Hollande was fully up to speed before he left France for England?
I’ve been surfing on-line greater than three hours today,
but I byy no means discovered any fascinating article like yours.
It is prety value enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers
made excellent content as you probably did, the web can be a lot
more helpful than ever before.
Hi there to all, the contents present at this website are
genuinely remarkable for people knowledge,
well, keep up the goold work fellows.
Someone necessarily help to make critically articles I might state.
Thhat is the very first tiume I frequented your web page annd to this point?
Isurprised with the analysis you made to create this actual
publish extraordinary. Excellent activity!
Hello there, I do think your website might be having internet browser compatibility issues.
Whennever I look at your wweb site inn Safari, it looks fine however when opening iin Internet Explorer,
it has some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Aside from that, wonderful blog!
Hi everyone, it’s my first pay a quick visit at this site, and piece oof writing
is actually fruitful in favor of me, keep up posting
these types of articles.
It’s an remarkable piece of writong designed for alll the web users; they will obtakn benefit from it I am
sure.
Usually I don’t read post on blogs, but I wish to say that this
write-up very forced me to take a look at and do so!
Your writing taste has been amazed me. Thanks, quite great article.
This forum reminds me of the great Python musical “Spamalot”. Hello, mods.

26 Aug, 2014 – 2:10 pm Yup, I would say that is fair comment. Just compare with the events of 9/11 and the irrelevance of the Presidents role. First Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces and controller of the nuclear button remained in the classroom listening to kids reading from books whilst the US was under attack ??? (The topic you will find was fascinating also) In potentially great danger of assassination his body guard fail to immediately move him to a place of safety and control??? Then he is put onto Airforce One and kept incommunicado for several hours with no fighter jet protection??? Sounds pretty much the same theory put into practice doesn’t it? All spooks read from the same manual – definitely not hymn sheet. Getting untried/untested/unreliable political leaders out of the way whilst those really in control of the operation get on with it, is just yet another small element in “good” planning.
Q
26 Aug, 2014 – 11:47 pm agreed. I’m wondering who these new contributors represent and how/why their getting through? As Monty Python would say “Spam, Spam, Eggs and Spam”
Hi there, just became aware of your blog through Google, and found that it’s truly
informative. I’m going to watch out for brussels.
I will be grateful if yoou continue this in future.
Many people will be benefited from your writing. Cheers!

Hi, the whole thing iss going sound here and ofcourse every one is sharing facts, that’s really excellent,
keep up writing.
“I know you’re an analyst and not a fortune teller. But will 2013 in your judgment be a determinative point in this process? Will the issue of the nuclear–of Iranian nuclear weapons program either be joined in war and/or diplomacy or might we find ourselves at the end of 2013 where we are now?
I think 2013 is a decisive point in history, a point in time. I think that there is time now to energetically engage in trying to find a solution which is other than a military one. I think that there’s much that can be done or should be done. And I think of course, as I said, that if all other options are exhausted and have been unsuccessful, yes, and maybe 2013 will be a time when Israel and/or the United States will take action.”

“Halevy has written extensively on Israel’s relationship with the United States, generally taking a moderate, pragmatic view of the Washington-Jerusalem alliance. He wrote, for example: “Never, but NEVER surprise the president of the United States is a dictum I learned very quickly when entering the Mossad in 1961.”[9]”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efraim_Halevy The 2010 quote is significant because Halevy was in charge of Mossad at the time of 9/11.
