Notre Dame’s bells ring out as Cathedral to reopen for Feast of the Immaculate Conception for first time since 2019


For the first time since the devastating fire of 2019, the bells of Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral in France have rung out in anticipation of the landmark’s reopening on December 8 for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

The iconic cathedral caught fire in April 2019, which caused damage to the roof and spire of the structure. The extensive restoration effort, costing an estimated $760 million, drew on the expertise of workers from around the globe and utilized specially crafted tools designed on-site to replicate those that were used during the original construction centuries ago, according to NBC News. Support for the project was immense, with over 340,000 donors from more than 150 countries contributing over $900 million.

At the outset of the restoration, French President Emmanuel Macron vowed to rebuild the 861-year-old structure within five years. Now, he is celebrating the milestone of the cathedral’s bells ringing again.

“Five years ago, a promise: to rebuild Notre-Dame Cathedral together,” Macron posted on X. “Today, its bells are finally ringing thanks to the extraordinary work of so many of you. In a month, we will reopen its doors.”

Notre Dame is set to reopen next month, with celebrations beginning on December 8. The cathedral has added three new bells, including one inscribed with “Paris 2024” that rang when the country hosted the 2024 Olympics. The landmark has a total of 21 bells, each named after a prominent figure in the church.

Liberal Elite At UN Climate Conference Calls For Meat Tax 

The UN Climate Change Conference, known this year as COP29, kicked off on Monday and will last through the 22nd of this month. Many of the usual climate grifters have skipped the event as de-growth ‘green’ policies in the US are being prepared to be rolled back to some degree under a Trump presidency. Even Swedish far-left activist Greta Thunberg skipped the event (pre-occupied with pro-Palestine protests?). 

On Tuesday, UN Secretary-General António Guterres told the world leaders who attended the event that last year’s meeting was a “master class in climate destruction,” adding, “The sound you hear is the ticking clock.”

Guterres also said the transition to clean energy “won’t be stopped by no group, no business, and no government.” He was likely referring to Trump’s plan to roll back certain climate policies that are strangling the economy and simultaneously boosting inflation, making US companies unable to compete in international markets. At the same time, China operates free of these de-growth policies. 

One particular speech by Willem Branten, the public affairs officer of True Animal Protein Price (TAPP) Coalition, a non-profit foundation focused on taxing real meat out of existence to reset the global food supply chain into a planet-based future, caught the internet’s attention given radical far left and their billionaire funders have been pushing fake meat and insects as a way to solve the so-called ‘climate crisis.’ 

LoL.

WEF propaganda non-sense. 

TAPP’s Branten said the quiet part out loud: using policy warfare, such as the “greenhouse gas emission price mechanism” – or a meat tax – to fund their climate crisis agenda and eventually end the overconsumption of animal protein.

Calling for a meat tax while US retail ground beef prices are soaring shows just how out-of-touch liberals are with concerns of the working class. That’s why they lost the election in the US. 

In other words, the themes of de-growth and de-population promoted by the UN are being pushed by radical leftists who want to control every facet of life—what you eat, drive, and how you live. Trump’s victory last week was a vote by the American people that rejects radical climate grifters and their Marxist friends that have sparked the worst inflation storm in a generation.
