“Well, certainly as far as France is concerned, from my standpoint, this is the end of the French Republic, because when a government declares a state of emergency in response to a terror event, prior to the conduct of a police investigation…and then closes the borders, and then gives a green light to police and security personnel to conduct house arrests… without a warrant throughout France… this is a transition towards a police state.” -Professor Michel Chossudovsky
