US
President Barack Obama led a chorus of global condemnation of a wave of attacks
in Paris on Friday that left more than 120 people dead, as nations pledged
solidarity with France.
The
coordinated killings reverberated around the world after shootings by gunmen
shouting "Allahu akbar", explosions and a hostage-taking at a popular
concert venue in the French capital.
Countries
such as the United States, Britain, Spain and India, which have experienced
their own mass-casualty attacks, were among the first to voice their
condemnation.
"It's
an attack not just on the people of France. But this is an attack on all of
humanity and the universal values we share," Obama said in an address at
the White House.
"We're
going to do whatever it takes to work with the French people and with nations
around the world to bring these terrorists to justice and to go after any
terrorist networks that go after our people."
In London,
where 52 people were killed and hundreds wounded in a series of coordinated
suicide bombings in 2005, British Prime Minister David Cameron said: "We
will do whatever we can to help."
Jose Manuel
Garcia Margallo, the foreign minister of Spain, where 191 people were killed in
train bombings in 2004, raised the specter of a jihadist attack.
"All
of this confirms that we are facing an unprecedented challenge, a hugely cruel
challenge," he told public television TVE.
Indian
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose country was hit by two major attacks in
2006 and 2008 that saw a total of 355 people killed, said on Twitter the
"news from Paris is anguishing & dreadful".
'Black
Friday for France'
France's
Jewish community was among the targets of the last attacks Paris in January and
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu added his voice to the condemnation.
"Israel
stands shoulder to shoulder with French President Francois Hollande and with
the people of France in our common battle against terrorism," he said.
Netanyahu
told France's Jewish community -- the largest in Europe and one of the largest
in the world -- after the January attacks on Charlie Hebdo magazine and a
Jewish supermarket that they would be welcomed with open arms by Israel.
President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, where twin bombings on a peace rally in Ankara
last month killed 102 people, offered his condolences.
"As a
country that knows very well the manner and consequences of terrorism, we
understand perfectly the suffering that France is experiencing now," he
said.

Iranian
President Hassan Rouhani branded the attacks "crimes against
humanity" as Tehran announced he would postpone a scheduled trip to Paris.
European
Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini tweeted that she was "in the
process of following with pain and dread the events in Paris".
"Europe
is with France and the French people," she said.
Angela
Merkel, the chancellor of neighboring Germany, said she was "profoundly
shocked by the news and images from Paris", while Dutch Foreign Minister
Bert Koenders tweeted: "Shocked and appalled by new attacks in #Paris.
Words are not enough."
And in
Australia, where a lone gunman reportedly shouting Islamist slogans killed a
man outside police headquarters in Sydney last month, Foreign Minister Julie
Bishop said "this is indeed a black Friday for France and for the
world".
Australian
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull praised the French people for their response,
describing France as "the home of freedom".
"It is
a global struggle for freedom against those who seek to suppress it and seek to
assert some form of religious tyranny; a threat in the name of God but is
truthfully the work of the devil," he said.
'Appalled
and outraged'
Elsewhere
in Asia, where people woke up to the news from Paris, Foreign Minister Vivian
Balakrishnan of Singapore, which raised its alert level, said "this is a
terrible assault on a beautiful city with warm, cheerful, hospitable
people".
"We
must not let the terrorists divide us or destroy our spirit. I know the French
spirit will prevail," said Balakrishnan, adding that he would be in Paris
for global climate change talks starting at the end of this month.
Philippine
President Benigno Aquino's government, which is preparing to host the annual
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit on November 18-19, said the Paris
attacks demanded "heightened security from all of us".
Chinese
President Xi Jinping spoke of "these tragic times for the French
people" as he condemned "in the strongest ways this barbarous
act."
Chinese
foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei added that Beijing was "profoundly
shocked", saying "terrorism is a common challenge, which the whole
(of) humanity is facing".
Afghan
chief executive Abdullah Abdullah tweeted that "these brutal, barbaric
& coward attacks show that terrorists have no religion... Global efforts
must eliminate terrorism."
Prime
Minister Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan, for his part, condemned "this act of
terror... this brutal carnage" while Japan's foreign minister Fumio
Kishida said he was "shocked and angry".
In New
York, One World Trade Center, the skyscraper built on the site of the September
11 attacks of 2001, was illuminated in blue, white and red in tribute to the
French flag.
"We
are reminded in this time of tragedy that the bonds of liberte, egalite,
fraternite are not just the values French people share, but we share,"
Obama said in Washington, referencing the French national motto.
"Those
go far beyond any act of terrorism or the hateful vision of those who
perpetrated the crimes this evening."

“ .. Do Not Despair
There's too much information to give you in one channelling, in one sitting, so I refer to past messages for you to better understand and reference the information in order to get the bigger picture. So I wish to remind you of something I also told you in a recent channelling called Do Not Despair. You're winning! It's because you're winning that the dark consciousness on this planet is feeling it, and the humanity that represents darkness is pulling out everything it has to survive.
It Has Always Been There
Let's look at it, because it's all over the news. Are you shocked at the sudden existence of the organization that will remain unnamed [for this channelling]? Where did it come from? How could it be so organized? How could it be so well funded? This organization could have its own country soon! They might as well name it, “The Old Energy Dark Country”, for that's what it will represent.
The barbaric past of humanity comes forward to show its face. It has always been there, hiding under the rocks and between the cracks of civilized humanity. It couldn't show itself until now, but now it has to. It's ugly and it's not for the faint at heart, is it, dear ones? Seeing evil personified in Human action is abhorrent. It is so ugly and so dark that you cannot look upon it with a gentle heart. God is not a part of it and this is obvious.
You're winning! Light is winning! The uprising of dark consciousness would not have shown itself with this strength, or this quickly, if this were not so. This is exactly what I told you to look for, and it is proof that those representing this dark consciousness are in trouble. Dear ones, dark consciousness has always had a tried-and-true system. It lurks in the shadows and influences all the power places of the planet - government, commerce, finance. Suddenly, it can't hide there as well anymore and it's out in the open.
Where is the funding coming from? It is coming from a storehouse that has always been there, dear ones. It uses income that has been generated from low consciousness acts, collected for a very long time. Funding didn't just appear. It has been stored, waiting to be used in order to spread fear and darkness to save what they believe is their way.
Who Will Win?
Dear ones, they haven't got a chance! But it looks like they do, doesn't it? Everything that they are doing is calculated to scare you into submission. Are they winning? Now, that's a question I want you to take from here and examine every day.
Fear is black. If you're in fear, there is no light. You can be the grandest Lightworker, or even be the channeller, but if you're in fear, it doesn't matter how many years you've done light work, or how much light you've accumulated personally. It all goes away with fear, and then they've won the battle for your mind. Do you understand this?
The Strength of the Old Soul - YOU
Old souls, Lightworkers reading this, the experiences you have had over lifetimes and lifetimes are incredible! The old soul knows fear. I don't want to be too graphic, but I want you to understand! What was it like when you put your head in the guillotine because you talked about God in a way that was inappropriate? What was it like to be bound hand and foot when they lit the match at your feet? Old soul, that's fear! You carry those experiences in your Akash.
I want to tell you they haven't got a chance to scare you! You absolutely know what fear is, and they haven't got a chance as long as you cling to that part of you that is the strength of God. You've been through it all. That means you've got the weapons of truth, wisdom and light. Don't forget it. Don't forget who you are!
Do you see how fast they assembled? It seemed like only yesterday that there was no organization at all. Where did they come from? Have you noticed a certain hesitancy to fight them? Why is it that the citizens of the lands that they are invading are hesitant to fight them? Instead, these leaders are calling on others to help. Why is it that the others are also hesitant? I want to show you that there are some anomalies of logic that are not making sense, because this is a battle you have never seen before on this planet. We've expected it, but you haven't. It's about consciousness, not land or resources.
How to Win?
We gave you the secret before of how to defeat them without taking even one life: Simply take away their funding. They cannot exist without their funding. The funding has to be organized, stored, and distributed. It has to be generated in such a way that it must also go through institutions. Did you hear that? All you have to do is stop the system. Winning won't be done with bombing. It's going to be done with intelligence, clever thinking and financial forensics. It's time to get smart on some of these things and not to be afraid to look at this puzzle differently than you have before. Do not apply the energy they are using in order to fight them, because you won't win. Figure it out. It's the last bastion of organized darkness and evil thinking on this planet coming together to try to survive the assault of your light. Don't be afraid to look at the funding trail, no matter where it takes you.
Fear is Their Weapon
I want you to know something as you look at your news. It may appear that you are unable to stop them. In many places, they will gain strength as they create fear. The fear is easily created in those who are not old souls and who don't know fear like you do and who don't have the armor of your spiritual experiences. This puts you in the front line, dear one. Did you realize that? But you don't have to go fight them on their terms. All you have to do is broadcast light. High consciousness will beat fear any day.. .”
