The First Question to Ask After Any Terror Attack: Was It a False Flag?
Governments from around the world admit they’ve used the bully’s trick … attack first, and then blame the victim:
- Japanese troops set off a small explosion on a train track in 1931, and falsely blamed it on China in order to justify an invasion of Manchuria. This is known as the “Mukden Incident” or the “Manchurian Incident”. The Tokyo International Military Tribunal found: “Several of the participators in the plan, including Hashimoto [a high-ranking Japanese army officer], have on various occasions admitted their part in the plot and have stated that the object of the “Incident” was to afford an excuse for the occupation of Manchuria by the Kwantung Army ….” And see this
- A major with the Nazi SS admitted at the Nuremberg trials that – under orders from the chief of the Gestapo – he and some other Nazi operatives faked attacks on their own people and resources which they blamed on the Poles, to justify the invasion of Poland. Nazi general Franz Halder also testified at the Nuremberg trials that Nazi leader Hermann Goering admitted to setting fire to the German parliament building in 1933, and then falsely blaming the communists for the arson
- Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev admitted in writing that the Soviet Union’s Red Army shelled the Russian village of Mainila in 1939 – while blaming the attack on Finland – as a basis for launching the “Winter War” against Finland. Russian president Boris Yeltsin agreed that Russia had been the aggressor in the Winter War, and Putin
- Israel admits that an Israeli terrorist cell operating in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including U.S. diplomatic facilities, then left behind “evidence” implicating the Arabs as the culprits (one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to identify the bombers, and several of the Israelis later confessed) (and see this and this)
- The CIA admits that it hired Iranians in the 1950′s to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its democratically-elected prime minister
- The Turkish Prime Minister admitted that the Turkish government carried out the 1955 bombing on a Turkish consulate in Greece – also damaging the nearby birthplace of the founder of modern Turkey – and blamed it on Greece, for the purpose of inciting and justifying anti-Greek violence
- The British Prime Minister admitted to his defense secretary that he and American president Dwight Eisenhower approved a plan in 1957 to carry out attacks in Syria and blame it on the Syrian government as a way to effect regime change
- The former Italian Prime Minister, an Italian judge, and the former head of Italian counterintelligence admit that NATO, with the help of the Pentagon and CIA, carried out terror bombings in Italy and other European countries in the 1950s and blamed the communists, in order to rally people’s support for their governments in Europe in their fight against communism. As one participant in this formerly-secret program stated: “You had to attack civilians, people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security” (and see this)(Italy and other European countries subject to the terror campaign had joined NATO before the bombings occurred). And watch this BBC special
- As admitted by the U.S. government, recently declassified documents show that in the 1960′s, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan to blow up AMERICAN airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes), and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil, and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba. See the following ABC news report; the official documents; and watch this interview with the former Washington Investigative Producer for ABC’s World News Tonight with Peter Jennings.
- 2 years before, American Senator George Smathers had suggested that the U.S. make “a false attack made on Guantanamo Bay which would give us the excuse of actually fomenting a fight which would then give us the excuse to go in and [overthrow Castro]“.
- And Official State Department documents show that – only nine months before the Joint Chiefs of Staff plan was proposed – the head of the Joint Chiefs and other high-level officials discussed blowing up a consulate in the Dominican Republic in order to justify an invasion of that country. The 3 plans were not carried out, but they were all discussed as serious proposals
- The NSA admits that it lied about what really happened in the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964 … manipulating data to make it look like North Vietnamese boats fired on a U.S. ship so as to create a false justification for the Vietnam war
- A U.S. Congressional committee admitted that – as part of its “Cointelpro” campaign – the FBI had used many provocateurs in the 1950s through 1970s to carry out violent acts and falsely blame them on political activists
- The German government admitted (and see this) that, in 1978, the German secret service detonated a bomb in the outer wall of a prison and planted “escape tools” on a prisoner – a member of the Red Army Faction – which the secret service wished to frame the bombing on
- The South African Truth and Reconciliation Council found that, in 1989, the Civil Cooperation Bureau (a covert branch of the South African Defense Force) approached an explosives expert and asked him “to participate in an operation aimed at discrediting the ANC [the African National Congress] by bombing the police vehicle of the investigating officer into the murder incident”, thus framing the ANC for the bombing
- An Algerian diplomat and several officers in the Algerian army admit that, in the 1990s, the Algerian army frequently massacred Algerian civilians and then blamed Islamic militants for the killings (and see this video; and Agence France-Presse, 9/27/2002, French Court Dismisses Algerian Defamation Suit Against Author)
- An Indonesian fact-finding team investigated violent riots which occurred in 1998, and determined that “elements of the military had been involved in the riots, some of which were deliberately provoked”.
- Senior Russian Senior military and intelligence officers admit that the KGB blew up Russian apartment buildings in 1999 and falsely blamed it on Chechens, in order to justify an invasion of Chechnya (and see this report and this discussion)
- According to the Washington Post, Indonesian police admit that the Indonesian military killed American teachers in Papua in 2002 and blamed the murders on a Papuan separatist group in order to get that group listed as a terrorist organization.
- The well-respected former Indonesian president also admits that the government probably had a role in the Bali bombings
- As reported by BBC, the New York Times, and Associated Press, Macedonian officials admit that the government murdered 7 innocent immigrants in cold blood and pretended that they were Al Qaeda soldiers attempting to assassinate Macedonian police, in order to join the “war on terror”
- Senior police officials in Genoa, Italy admitted that – in July 2001, at the G8 summit in Genoa – planted two Molotov cocktails and faked the stabbing of a police officer, in order to justify a violent crackdown against protesters
- Although the FBI now admits that the 2001 anthrax attacks were carried out by one or more U.S. government scientists, a senior FBI official says that the FBI was actually told to blame the Anthrax attacks on Al Qaeda by White House officials (remember what the anthrax letters looked like). Government officials also confirm that the white House tried to link the anthrax to Iraq as a justification for regime change in that country
- Similarly, the U.S. falsely blamed Iraq for playing a role in the 9/11 attacks – as shown by a memo from the defense secretary – as one of the main justifications for launching the Iraq war. Even after the 9/11 Commission admitted that there was no connection, Dick Cheney said that the evidence is “overwhelming” that al Qaeda had a relationship with Saddam Hussein’s regime, that Cheney “probably” had information unavailable to the Commission, and that the media was not ‘doing their homework’ in reporting such ties. Top U.S. government officials now admit that the Iraq war was really launched for oil … not 9/11 or weapons of mass destruction (despite previous “lone wolf” claims, many U.S. government officials now say that 9/11 was state-sponsored terror; but Iraq was not the state which backed the hijackers)
- Former Department of Justice lawyer John Yoo suggested in 2005 that the US should go on the offensive against al-Qaeda, having “our intelligence agencies create a false terrorist organization. It could have its own websites, recruitment centers, training camps, and fundraising operations. It could launch fake terrorist operations and claim credit for real terrorist strikes, helping to sow confusion within al-Qaeda’s ranks, causing operatives to doubt others’ identities and to question the validity of communications.”
- United Press International reported in June 2005:
U.S. intelligence officers are reporting that some of the insurgents in Iraq are using recent-model Beretta 92 pistols, but the pistols seem to have had their serial numbers erased. The numbers do not appear to have been physically removed; the pistols seem to have come off a production line without any serial numbers. Analysts suggest the lack of serial numbers indicates that the weapons were intended for intelligence operations or terrorist cells with substantial government backing. Analysts speculate that these guns are probably from either Mossad or the CIA. Analysts speculate that agent provocateurs may be using the untraceable weapons even as U.S. authorities use insurgent attacks against civilians as evidence of the illegitimacy of the resistance.
- Undercover Israeli soldiers admitted in 2005 to throwing stones at other Israeli soldiers so they could blame it on Palestinians, as an excuse to crack down on peaceful protests by the Palestinians
- Quebec police admitted that, in 2007, thugs carrying rocks to a peaceful protest were actually undercover Quebec police officers (and see this)
- At the G20 protests in London in 2009, a British member of parliament saw plain clothes police officers attempting to incite the crowd to violence
- Egyptian politicians admitted (and see this) that that government employees looted priceless museum artifacts in 2011 to try to discredit the protesters
- A Colombian army colonel has admitted that his unit murdered 57 civilians, then dressed them in uniforms and claimed they were rebels killed in combat
- U.S. soldiers have admitted that if they kill innocent Iraqis and Afghanis, they then “drop” automatic weapons near their body so they can pretend they were militants
- The highly-respected writer for the Telegraph Ambrose Evans-Pritchard says that the head of Saudi intelligence – Prince Bandar – recently admitted that the Saudi government controls “Chechen” terrorists
- High-level American sources admitted that the Turkish government – a fellow NATO country – carried out the chemical weapons attacks blamed on the Syrian government; and high-ranking Turkish government admitted on tape plans to carry out attacks and blame it on the Syrian government
- The former Ukrainian security chief admits that the sniper attacks which started the Ukrainian coup were carried out in order to frame others
- Britain’s spy agency has admitted to (and see this) that it carries out “digital false flag” attacks on targets, framing people by writing offensive or unlawful material … and blaming it on the target
So Common … There’s a Name for It
Painting by Anthony Freda
The use of the bully’s trick is so common that it was given a name hundreds of years ago.
“False flag terrorism” is defined as a government attacking its own people, then blaming others in order to justify going to war against the people it blames. Or as Wikipedia defines it:
False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one’s own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time; for example, during Italy’s strategy of tension.
The term comes from the old days of wooden ships, when one ship would hang the flag of its enemy before attacking another ship in its own navy. Because the enemy’s flag, instead of the flag of the real country of the attacking ship, was hung, it was called a “false flag” attack.
Indeed, this concept is so well-accepted that rules of engagement for naval, air and land warfare all prohibit false flag attacks.
Leaders Throughout History Have Acknowledged False Flags
Leaders throughout history have acknowledged the danger of false flags:
“This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.”
– Plato
“If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”
– U.S. President James Madison
“A history of false flag attacks used to manipulate the minds of the people! “In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule.”
– Friedrich Nietzsche
“Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death”.
– Adolph Hitler
“Why of course the people don’t want war … But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship … Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
– Hermann Goering, Nazi leader.
“The easiest way to gain control of a population is to carry out acts of terror. [The public] will clamor for such laws if their personal security is threatened”.
– Josef Stalin
People Are Waking Up to False Flags
People are slowly waking up to this whole con job by governments who want to justify war.
More people are talking about the phrase “false flag” than ever before.

You are going to have cover lies with more lies if you want it to work, dog.
Try: "They were on drugs when they testified to "just following orders" in court testimony?"
And: "They didn't actually build concentration camps. They were resort spas."
Then: "It was the jews fault anyway, all the time."
See what a false flag can do for you? This is really what you and GW are after, so go for it.
BTW: love your town. I proposed by the statue of Hummel.
Instead of asking whether it's a false flag, ask if it enhances government power. While Cui bono doesn't prove who was responsible, it ought cause you to think before empowering others. Doubt is the beginning of wisdom. Emotional responding is ignorance.
The Stupid Question to Ask After Any Terror Attack: Was It a False Flag?
Seriously, GW get some help. You've turned into walking colostomy bag.
Al-Caida, ISIL, et al brought to you by your friends at the see eye a, who had you scared shitless over Russia until they imploded.
'A new enemy for a new century.'
FALSE FLAG CONFIRMATION?????
Police Commissioner Helric Fredou, Number Two Police Officer of the Regional Service of France’s Judicial Police (JP), Limoges, (Haute-Vienne), “committed suicide on the night of Wednesday to Thursday at the police station.”
Commissioner Helric Fredou was part of the police investigation into the Charlie Hebdo terror attack.
Commissioner Fredou may have been having an extra marital, abeit homosexual relationship w/ Mr. Hebdo. Or, Or, Or...I can craft a half a dozen disinformation senarios in a few brief minutes.
Ladies and gentleman. The Zio-Troll admits that he can craft disinformation scenarios. ^^^
Tell me what this confirms. Don't tell me what it possibly disproves, tell what it proves.
I dare ya.
"get some help"
Did you read the citations?
dont deal with what he is saying, just insult. This isnt CNN. You dont get away with that nonesence on zero hedge
It's as bad as CNN, and one could argue it is worse. Every source he used is sourced from the fringe or twisted to serve a fringe conspiracy and this spin is accepted as inherently honest and above critical review. Everybody has their agenda, and GW is playing to his lunatic crowd. A lot of his inferences aren't even sourced, just his increasingly lunatic and paranoid opinions.
It is arguably worse than CNN because you know who runs CNN, so you know how to discount what they say. GW is an anonymous malcontent with an unknown agenda. The discount factor on his posts should be very, very high. Especially when his posts start with with a premise that you know is dubious.
Just because there is a footnote at the bottom doesn't make it any less the product of a walking colostomy bag.
As to nonessense, GW is a prime example of how it happens on zero hedge just about every day.
"Just because there is a footnote at the bottom doesn't make it any less the product of a walking colostomy bag."
Bravo! One of the examples of false flag operations, was buttressed by a citation used from a professor from get this, Stanford University...a self professed "Maoist" and this is the illuminate of truth and impartiality. Anyway, well said.
"GW is an anonymous malcontent"
as opposed to you
The big difference is that I'm not taking a few incidents from history and weaving some grand conspiracy narrative. I'm pointing out that some incidents don't make the world one gigantic false flag.
When everything is a false flag, there is no truth and no possible way to discern it. This itself is an agenda. It makes people sheep as much as CNN ever did.
Since the Ghouta chemical attack on 21 August 2013 during the Syrian Civil War, America and the nations of the West have found great sucess in 'false flag' operations.
In my opinion the gas attack at Ghouta was just such an operation. Obama claimed to have secret and classified evidence of Syria's complicity. But because it would compromise intelligence gathering in the ME, this evidence could not be revealed. But the attack with its unknown perps, stopped the momentum of the Syrian army.
false flag 1 0 truth
The next false flag operation occurred in the Maidan, from December 2013 to February 2014. The nazi thugs, who have now been exposed as such murdered over 100 civilians and police. The West in one loud voice convicted Viktor Yanukovych of those murders after he fled Kiev.
false flag 2 0 truth
The most recent of these operations was the downing of MH17 over Donbas. A passenger jet with 300 people aboard was ordered to fly over the bellicose region of eastern Ukraine. First we witnessed the Ukrainian government conceal the recording between the plane and the ATC. Then we saw the Ukrainian army shell the area where the crashed plane fell. The black boxes went to London without any supervision from the Malaysians whose plane it was. The Dutch were put in charge of the investigation and declared it would take a year to write a report. The English, the Dutch, and the Ukrainians all had declared the Russians and the separatists guilty of bringing down MH17.
false flag 3 0 truth.
The point of all this, jm, is that when a corrupt government like ours find something that works, like false flag operations, and its Intelligence agency has a budget of $50 billion per annum, it's perfectly clear to me that they will use the False Flag Operation every opportunity the can.
In a courtof law, very few disputes are abut the facts. There are about the interpretation of the facts. I believe youare confusing the facts with your interpretatin of the facts a bit.
But this isn't my point here. Here's the point: Given what you say is true which may or may not be the case), does than mean GW is right and EVERY terrorist attack should be viewed as a "false flag event", whatever false flag may mean?
Is any government really that smart? Does it excuse some jhadis from going into a shol in Pakistand and killing girls indiscriminantly or the other attrocities of 2014?
I don't necessarily think GW is deliberately dragging some nefarious agenda around. I just think he has lost connection to reality and his increasing paranoia shows he needs to get some help.
you are absolutely right.
every event should not automatically be viewed as a false flag event. However given the history of the world since 911, every terrorist attack -- especially in the West -- has to be considered as a possible false flag event, even though it is impossible to prove without the testimony of a witness or conspirator. Or a video of the turncoats.
Whether or not the explosion on the Maine was deliberately set or was just an explosion of coal dust, William Randolph Hearst went to town with it.
And whether or not the separatists shot down MH17, the Ukrainian ATC changed its course to put it over Donbas and lowered it's altitude to look more like an army plane than a passenger one.
This is the future, jm, false flags with improbable motives and no probable cause but the unrealistic piling on of the MSM quoting unnamed sources.
And with a tip of the hat to George Orwell, soon sources that you read online will disappear down the CIA memory hole.
Another false flag operation preceeding the latest false flag operation in France?

You're citing to Pam Geller now? Your points are always distractions and contain almost no substance. Is there are a reason you're so active on this thread? Worried about something?
Bear in mind that the 1% importing millions of low-skilled young men into Europe combined with the neocons burning the middle east to the ground one block at a time is guaranteed to cause terror attacks. In a way the whole thing is a false flag so the individual attacks don't all need to be.

"x) who decided to drop surveillance of these individuals with known troublesome background about 6 months before the attacks?"
There are thousands of them. 24/7 surveillance takes dozens of people per target. The only way to deal with it without a police state is keep them out: border control and deportation.
You guys and your false flags........
Did you read the citations? If so do you dispute them or do you simply chose to ignore documented facts?
Documented citations doesn't make it authoritative, something to which you are probably aware.
Playtime said, "you guys and your false flags" as if to imply that false flag attacks do not occur. The citations show otherwise as I'm sure you are aware.
Outstanding article! Thank you!
Some questions. I'm sure there are others people can think of.
i) where did they get the AK47s and grenade launcher?
ii) where did they get the money from?
iii) was the ID of the person with the solid alibi real?
iv) if not, how good a forgery was it and where was it forged?
v) if not, who planted it?
vi) how many shots were fired by the murderers?
vii) where are the spent cartridges from their weapons?
viii) how did they manage to travel so quickly in midday city traffic?
ix) who came up with the 'Je suis Charlie' marketing gimmick and when?
x) who decided to drop surveillance of these individuals with known troublesome background about 6 months before the attacks?
xi) who decided on the kill strategy even though negotiations seemed to be taking place?
When you look through the list (only know ones too) and all nations are at it makes you wonder about some of the more modern atrocities.
Did your loved ones die through a false flag atrocity?
Now I get it !
It is exactly the same as ISIL planting anti-America and pro-Islamic, pro-socialism, etc propaganda on web sites by masquerading as a highly respected founder of America to instigate confusion and reduce cohesion against a dangerous enemy.
Thank You so much :-)

ROFL.
In 1774 having been captured by British Forces and forced to march with "the invader" Paul Revere spilled the beans on the entire Contintal Army's war plans.
Stupidly the British attacked anyways getting their butts whooped and causing Paul Revere to have his horse confiscated.
he went on to become the greatest counterfeiter in American history until Jefferson Davis and then Alan Greenspan.
Jefferson Davis?

They may simply be trying to learn how to 'outfox' the most people by gauging our sentiment. They should never BS a BS'er!
I don't understand what your point is.
This is in fact Dick Cheney's homepage.
Shhhhh. "Its a secret."
False flag is not just for government. It's also used to fight government.
The very recent hacking attacks on the Albuquerque Journal (12/24/14 and 1/06/15) were false flag attacks by indigenous dissident forces unaffiliated with ISIS. As might be expected of hackers, several are Jews and couldn't join ISIS even if they wanted.
They named themselves CyberCaliphate and expressed support for ISIS, but they are in fact a local chapter of the hacker group Anonymous as a commenter to Waqas' article mentions: http://hackread.com/isis-hacker-hacks-tv-journal-twitter-account/
I spoke with several people yesterday who were involved in the ABQ Journal website and Twitter hacks. They're in the vicinity of the "hippy cafe" near UNM.
Our being in the news this way has made me very proud to live in this Land of Enchantment!
