The False Flag Link: Syrian Passport "Found" Next To Suicide Bomber Was "Definitely A Forgery"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Yesterday, when we explained just how the tragic events in France over the past 48 hours unfolded precisely as we predicted they would two months ago (ironically, as per our post from September 11, 2015) we commented on the oddly fortuitous discovery of an intact Syrian passport found next to the body of one of the suicide bombers, a passport which Greece chimed in as belonging to a Syrian refugee who had entered the country at Leros on October 3, 2015 from where he subsequently travelled all the way to Paris.

Specifically, we said that "we admit to not being experts on the nuances, or even basics, of "suicide bombing for terrorists 101", but is bringing your own passport to an event that will be your last, really that crucial, especially when the passport is such a critical smoking gun?"

The following cartoon best captures the idiocy of anyone actually believing a suicide bomber would have brought their actual passport to what they knew would be their last act on earth.

 

Shortly thereafter, it was Serbia's turn to join the story of the rogue "Syrian refugee", when the Serbian newspaper Blic published the picture of the alleged Syrian passport belonging to a 25-year-old man named Ahmed Almohamed, and said he had crossed into the country on 7 October, having arrived four days earlier in Leros, Greece, seeking Serbian refugee status.

 

Then a Greek newspaper, Protothema, said he was travelling with a second man, Mohammed Almuhamed, and published pictures purporting to show their travel documents. The Guardian proposed the following map to track Ahma's progress across Europe:

 

And then a few hours ago, the story took an even more surreal twist when we learned that, according to both French and US sources, the passport was "definitely a forgery."

Some more details courtesy of IBTimes:

The Syrian passport recovered from near one of the Paris attackers may be fake, a US intelligence official told CBS news. The document did not contain the correct numbers for a legitimate Syrian passport and the picture did not match the name, said the official.

 

The passport found near the body of one of the eight attackers who struck on Friday, 13 November, was used to enter the European Union through Greece in October. The Serbian interior ministry said that the passport was used to enter that country on 7 October, by a man claiming refugee status.

So how to make sense from a story that has drifted from the merely laughable, to the bizarre, to the outright surreal? Guardian's Patrick Kingsley attempts an explanation:

There are several reasons why it’s worth waiting until all the facts are known before making too strong a link between the attacks and the refugee crisis. The first is a general one: on at least 12 occasions, Isis has actually criticised refugees for fleeing to Europe. “For those who want to blame the attacks on Paris on refugees, you might want to get your facts straight,” wrote Aaron Zelin, an analyst of jihad, in an online commentary about the 12 outbursts. “The reality is, [Isis] loathes that individuals are fleeing Syria for Europe. It undermines [Isis’s] message that its self-styled caliphate is a refuge.” It’s therefore unlikely that the vast majority of Syrians fleeing to Europe are Isis supporters, since their actions are in obvious contravention of the group’s creed.

 

The second reason for caution is more specific. Investigators still need to verify the Syrian passport was carried by an attacker rather than a dead bystander (one Egyptian passport-holder initially believed to be an assailant turned out to be an injured victim). They will then need to be certain that the passport’s carrier was the same as the passport’s legitimate owner.

 

It’s possible that it was stolen. Since the possession of a Syrian passport makes it easier to claim asylum in Europe, there is a busy trade in stolen Syrian documents. Syrians interviewed on Greece’s border with Macedonia have described how they were mugged for their passports after leaving the Greek islands as they tried to make their way north through the Balkans. Such passports can be sold on for as much as several thousand euros, in a trade that the EU’s border agency acknowledges is a growing problem. Forgeries are also common; a Dutch journalist recently had one made in the name of his prime minister.

 

A third red flag is the fact that the passport concerned was found in the first place. Analysts find it strange that a bomber would remember to bring his passport on a mission, particularly one who does not intend to return alive. “Why would a jihadist who expressly rejects all notions of modern citizenship take his passport on a suicide mission?” tweeted Charlie Winter, an analyst focusing on Islamist extremism. “So it gets found.”

One theory is that Isis hopes to turn Europe against Syrian refugees. This would reinforce the idea of unresolvable divisions between east and west, and Christians and Muslims, and so persuade Syrians that Islamic State’s self-proclaimed caliphate is their best hope of protection. “You know what pissed off Islamist extremists the most about Europe?” summarised Iyad El-Baghdadi, an activist and jihadi-watcher, on Twitter. “It was watching their very humane, moral response to the refugee crisis.”

His conclusion:

"Whether the passport was planted, stolen, forged or genuine, investigators should find out the truth soon enough. But regardless of what they discover, a wider debate has now begun about the wisdom of letting so many unknown migrants enter Europe through its southern borders, and being allowed to move onwards through the continent with few restrictions. Already, there are calls to step up the policing of Greece’s maritime border with Turkey, and to block the passage of refugees entirely."

What is becoming clear is that either the passport was planted, or is a fake, or both. But while we agree with the Guardian that this shift in narrative will have an impact against the future flow of refugees into Europe, an even more acute consequence will from the "Syrian" angle will be to "incept" the idea that the entire Paris massacre was the result of events in Syria (and hence, al Assad is directly and indirectly responsible) thus generating goodwill toward a military operation that include a French ground force. In fact, the wheels are already in motion:

France may send its "expeditionary force" to Syria in order to retaliate against ISIL, according to the US-based intelligence firm Stratfor; the group has claimed responsibility for Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris, which claimed at least 129 lives.

 

Analysts from the private intelligence company Stratfor believe that France may send its "expeditionary force" to Syria or Iraq in response to the deadly Paris attacks that rocked the French capital on Friday night. They claimed that France has a whole array of options for retaliation "at its disposal", but that the country's response will depend on "who was ultimately responsible" for the Friday attacks.

 

"If it is found that the Islamic State core group was indeed behind the November 13 attack, France will likely ramp up its Syrian air operations," Stratfor said.

 

In light of this, Stratfor analysts predicted that France may increase its programs to train and support anti-Islamic State forces in Iraq and Syria, or even to carry out "commando strikes against key leadership nodes." 

 

"France also has the option of deploying an expeditionary force like it did in the Sahel [region of Africa], although that would probably require outside airlift capacity from NATO allies, especially the United States," Stratfor pointed out.

And the latest surprise, is that moments ago it was Greece again which claimed that despite allegations to the contrary, the passport was, in fact, real. How it "concluded" this remains a mystery...

... and once again shows that there is a deep political motive on virtually every side to use this human tragedy as a "false flag" event to achieve specific, geopolitical goals.

Exactly.

And that is the modus operandi of the spooks and is how one can tell if the crime has intelligence connections. Think of the Seagal movie Under Siege II where the bad guy put hundreds of ghost satellites to hide the real Grazer One. The spooks generate so many narratives that the truth will never be found and if it is,,, it will be years later and few listen and even fewer will care

No, the narrative is simple, Muslims living in Europe aquired weaponry (easy) and killed a large number of unbelievers in revenge for western nations attacking their "brothers".

The response is simple too, but unpalatable, because it involves someone taking a stand and doing something that is politically unacceptable for many, deporting the enemy within.

But who made the decisions to import the enemy?  Who is funding the enemy?  It has been more than established that ISIS has been funded by those that claim to fight it.  This isn't anything new either, they have funded most of these alphabet boogie men.  This is a great way to take over nations through the first rule of war/sectarian strife and it also justifies further aggression. 

We can't afford this one it may lead to WWIII.  Even if the memes were true the strife in Syria/Ukraine/China islands is not worth it, it being the lives of everyone you know.

Why would a suicide bomber carry a passport?  Well, to start with they are idiots, so maybe he figured he would need it get to his virgins.  Or, WTF, ask him if you can talk to the dead.  A fake passport is not something new in this world so I don't think it has anything to do with ff status.

Why would a suicide bomber want a good ID on him on the way to his mission ? Because if he gets stopped by the cops along the way , for whatever innocuous reason, he would have to produce some form of ID and a recent immigrant would not have a drivers license yet. No ID would end the mission right there.

I could care less about a passport. Fake or otherwise. I care about who had the most to gain from this attack and it damn sure wasn't ISIS. What I care about is whether or not the US and the CIA created ISIS. IF they did then it's past time to follow the money and start hanging every one of the SOB's involved. I believe there are already laws on the books that cover treason and the penalty for such. Congress and Obama will stand trial for their crimes.

That is another great benefit to the invasive spying apparatus, it keeps real cops and patriots from interfering with their murderous or simulated operations (they do both).  Good cops have great senses about them and they know when something is wrong, unless they are in on the plot they need to be kept at a minimum at the location, the same would go for any real journalists/bloggers (unless their going to be on the casuality list).  They probably monitor chatter about their drills to prevent obstacles. Sick bastards. 

They are pretty good at this but they going to get caught big eventually if this keeps up for long, of course they have already been caught but I mean clown car caught.

Most countries in Europe require citizens must have ID on them at all times.  So having your terrorist operation foiled because of a random ID check is pretty stupid, this article seems to be oblivious to that fact.

As for the passport being a forgery, I have no trouble believing it, there is not much of a functioning state in Syria to check things so it is going to be easy to claim it is official documentation, but what difference does it make?

The real news is that the attackers came from Belgium and were all living in Europe, the solution isn't to bomb Brussels, but to deport their supporters, all of them.

The fake passport was needed because it is obligatory in France to present an ID if stopped by Police. No ID and you are retained by the flics, especially if you look like a terrorist.

Please Zero Hedge, I say this with respect: You might want to climb back off the limb you're on while you still can.

If this passport really is a forgery, and if it really was being carried by one of the attackers, then that it makes it extremely unlikely that the Paris attacks were a false flag. Nobody is more likely to be carrying a forged (or stolen, or forged and stolen) passport than one of Europe's new wave of alien invaders, among whom there are flurries of dubious documents and no doubt many jihadists.

And furthermore, I have to admit to being completely baffled as to just what this ostensible false flag is supposed to achieve. Are you telling me that the CIA-Neocon-Israeli axis actually desires the election of Marine Le Pen, France's exit from the Eurozone, the collapse of the EU, and the halting of the immivasion? Because that is what's going to happen. What will not happen is increased French support for a ground invasion of Syria while leaving its own borders unprotected, that I can guarantee. So then, how does this comport with the rest of the narrative, viz. that the immivasion, a NATO campaign into Syria, and the political-monetary integrity of the EU, are all desiderata of the same CIA-Neocon-Israeli axis? The conspiracy theories are starting to contradict themselves.

Why would the supposed false-flaggers, whomever they may be, need to go to such Rube-Goldberg lengths to pin the blame on ISIS? Is there anybody else whom the public would likely blame in the first place? Is there anybody else who would openly claim responsibility (as ISIS has)? Is there anybody else who probably fucking did it? What's the motivation here? What's the point?

This certainly is a long and convoluted path to get around what seems to be rather obvious: Terrorist jihadists enter a completely undefended Europe under false pretenses and massacre civilians because they want to and they can. This was the completely predicted and predictable result of Merkel's and the EU's asinine immigration policy. Anybody who will not acknowledge this is, frankly, contributing to the fecklessness of the Western world.

Yep, and the fact that most of the attackers were living in Brussels further destroys the narrative of the need to attack Syria and ISIS.

That fact needs to be hammered home, Hollande shut the borders because he wanted to be seen doing something, and he's yammering on about wiping out ISIS (attacking Syria) because he wants to be seen doing something.

What he absolutely does not want to do is to take a stand against Muslims in his own country, that loses votes, messes with various vested interests in politics and business, and has all kinds of awkward repercussions.  Expect several weeks of epic gusts of hot air to eminate from France accompanied by the expenditure of 100's of millions of pounds of hi-tech military ordinance on a few pickup truck driving Jihadi's.

I just hope he has the sense of Irony to declare mission accomplished while standing on the deck of his aircraft carrier when he's finished.

As Paris awoke in a state of shock over terrorist attacks that killed at least 129 people and injured over 350 on Friday night, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy spoke out on Saturday to express solidarity with France and to allay fears of potential attacks on Spanish soil.

“There is no cause that can justify yesterday’s atrocity. We are not facing a war of religions, but a battle between civilization and barbarity,” he added.

I'm predicting both. The second conjunct pertains to the continuance of the immivasion, while the first pertains to the proffered geopolitical motivations for false-flagging France. Either one by itself would be detrimental to the false flag narrative. They are both required to be true in conjunction for the false flag narrative to remain plausible.

Not necessarily.  Bombs go off in Europe resulting in fear and anger further providing support for operations in Syria or other areas of the ME, it's really that simple. 

The wave of immigrants preceded imminent Russian operations in Syria and so it's really not clear if that was premeditated far in advance and it may be a side show.  The waves of immigrants certainly serves to destabilize Europe (as has Mexican immigration to the US) and may serve a purpose and admittedly is linked to the war in Syria; however, the Syrian motivations can absolutely stand on their own. 

Europe has plenty of immigrant problem already and if the population pushes back hard enough, that may be where it stands for now.  If the immigrant problem in Europe were to be shut down by the population that would in no way endanger the desired war in Syria.  While the two are linked they are not dependent on eachother, unless of course they are saving some assets by evacuating them but that would still not thwart any operations in Syria by state actors that have just justified their involvement.

well you could always ask the same question on 9-11-2001 when passports came fluttering down from the sky in lower manhattan.

just seemed a bit odd to me - not the blowback aspect of the attack, just the miraculous deliverance of a passport. not whether it was forged or real, but that it was scooped up in real time and posted on the media with a "here's our man" narrative

since then, i've always been wary about passports found at crime scenes. call me skeptical I guess.  feel free to fast forward to a big pic narrative though.

These Jews are literally insane. They will try anything to stoke up "anti-semitism" in Europe and force more of their own to emigrate to "Israel". They can't hope to hold onto their illegally occupied territory out there unless they have the population to hold it. And they won't have the population to hold it until and unless they get a huge upswing in the number of immigrants.

 

France has the biggest Jewish population in Europe. I predict several "anti-semitic" attacks in France in the coming weeks, in response to this terrorist hoax.

 

These insane Jews have a tough job on their hands though. Even the Jews in Iran don't want to go there.

"False flag"????

Its shit like this that gives libertarians a bad name.

A group like ISIS that has a big enough infrastructure to conduct military operations and hold territory in Iraq IS sophisticated enough to buy forged passports.

A false passport is THE modus operandi to move people clandestinely from one location to another. It happened during the Cold War all the time.

A fanatical group like ISIS will exploit the current immigration chaos to infiltrate the EU and they are smart enough to use fake passports to do this.

WTF, Zerohedge?

It should also be clear that they have established a network in the EU to support their operations there....that is actually a logical conclusion given their size and resources.

These people are NOT the JV team that Obama claimed they were.

Agreed, and I don't even see any merit to arguing false flag versus genuine attack. Well if there is merit it's on the state's side in discrediting libertarians as the lunatic fringe tinfoil hat wearing types that see conspiracy in absolutely everything. The very morning before the attack Obama stated ISIS was contained. Merkel and the rest of the open borders crowd is desperate to save face as nationalists (anti-EU/anti-NWO) are rapidly gaining popularity. If this were a false flag the timing is horrible. I'd hope more people would be upset about what should be the growing realization that ISIS was largely funded, trained, and armed by the US and its allies.

So we shouldn't question official narratives because our credibility may be at stake?  I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Libertarians have been more than maginalized and if there is anything left that one could do for their country it would be exposing the truth. 

Credibility is the least of our problems when you have men like Irwin Schiff going down the way he did.  Credibility is overrated these days and even if it was critical when something goes from being a laughingstock theory to known truth it will provide credibility of it's own eventually.  Ron Paul certainly isn't leaving a legacy of hiding from the truth to preserve what may be percieved as credibility.  Regardless of what position one has on this issue the official narrative should be debated.

so here it is less than 48hrs after the attack in Paris and the media is already running the "Assad is buying oil from ISIS and refusing to attack them" bit on a loop. we all know where that is headed, same as Saddam has WMD's and supports al-CIAda.

it was absurd cattle feed then and it still is now.

then there is the Vienna "deal" that isn't really a one at all. western officials are claiming the very same plan that Moscow suggested just a week ago as their own and are now saying it's done like dinner. and yet sources inside the meet have been quoted as saying no such agreement has been reached and the point of whether Assad stays or goes and when is nowhere near being resolved. the west and Arab powers still want him gone asap while Iran, Russia and Syria insist it should be the people who decide if and when he leaves power. 

so I can see this whole passport deal being connected to Assad, Iran or Russia in some absurdly stupid this-could -only-happen-in-the-mass-media kind of way. now that the western backed "rebels" are on the verge of losing the main road that connects Damascus and Aleppo and thereby Aleppo itself, we will see some Orwellian leaps in logic, common sense and critical thinking to make that connection. their narrative may have holes big enough to drive optimus prime through but as Goebbels said "tell a big enough lie, tell it enough times and it becomes the truth".  as the blame for this must be placed on the Assad regime and if possible it's allies in order to salvage the whole FUBAR operation.

false flag or not the timing of this attack must raise the eyebrows as it presents an opportunity both timely and unique to rally support for a large scale invasion of Syria.

I don’t understand why so many of you seemingly need this (and every other crisis) to be a false flag. Does it make any difference in that governments will ultimately use it as an excuse to erode our diminishing privacy and freedoms? Is it a means of defending your beliefs in either the virtues of multiculturalism or Islam being a “religion of peace”? 

I believe most of you understand that the many years of Western meddling in the Middle East has been a mess. Some of you might also understand that the arbitrary national boundaries that have been draw there regardless of ethnicity have led to lots of conflicts. Why then is it so hard to imagine genuine conflicts occurring in Europe? France has a sizable population of fairly unassimilated Muslims, and among them are many radical Islamists. I’d think the more logical conspiracy is that the stage has been set for genuine crisis to occur for the same result of justifying power grabs by the state. Farfetched claims with no real evidence to support them only serve to lessen the credibility of opposition and provide cover for the state.

France was already involved in military actions against ISIS in Syria. They had no further need for cover. The current French government was pushing for increased migrations of Middle-Easterners so this really works against them. As for the passport, if this really was a foot-soldier recently back from the now Russian dominated Syrian warzone, I'd think the chance of him having his passport on him (fake or real) would be pretty high. If he blew himself up with crude explosives in what vicinity would you expect his passport to end up? I don't wish to dissuade you from some heathy cynicism of the state so I'll just say a "real" crisis can be just as useful as a fake one.

Oh, was that stopping us until now? Rules only matter if they’re enforceable and enforced.

It’s not a dead document yet, but it’s not looking so well. 

There is repercussions of course to having helped create ISIS, propping up corrupt regimes, and replacing others. Intentionally taking in large numbers of members of a hostile and incompatible culture from these same war torn regions will of course increase the severity of those repercussions, but that is all according to plan: divide and conquer and move toward a one world totalitarian government.

Have the French people yet determined that groups within their own government are waging a literal war against them? What will they do when they figure it out?

Interesting theory! “You know what pissed off Islamist extremists the most about Europe?” summarised Iyad El-Baghdadi, an activist and jihadi-watcher, on Twitter. “It was watching their very humane, moral response to the refugee crisis.”

I think a theory that fighters hoping to gain supporters might not like to see their supporter targets treated well by those to whom the targets are running might explain a lot... Not the whole show, but a lot.

Never believe anything till it's been officially denied by the Pentagon.

Was it fake? Not fake enough to do the job in Greece, apparently. Think ISIS couldn't have found a "refugee" enough cash to convince a poorly paid Greek border official not to look at the passport very carefully?

The Greeks and Serbs have learned the hard way over centuries who the real enemy is, and have less incentive to cover Hollande's ass than DC and the Elysée do.

Had you paid any attention to what has been going on you would know that many are traveling under false Syrian documents.  Why?  Because Syrians are recieveing preferential treatment.  A fake Syrain passport does not make it a false flag operation.  Furhter, a sophisicated agency could easily generate an excellent forgery.

Historically, suicide bombers have left a lot of evidence behind, they don't care, they expect to die.  No reason to hide and normally they want it to be known who they are.   Only a true anarchist might want anonimity, these b*stards were promoting their cause.

FYI In France you need an ID to easily travel about, not having one would raise more suspiccions then the risk of carrying  a fake.

Indeed, remember the videos that are so common.  They want their identity to be known.

The ones who try to conceal their identity are those who do not expect to die and who have come from the West and want to return their.

What is becoming clear is that either the passport was planted, or is a fake, or both

No what is clear is this is a fucking piece of shit article you just wrote.   We don't even know the truth and already you try to fill in the blanks from shit sources to fit your fucking narrative.    

Already they are reporting that fingerprints match the person who claimed refugee status who came in through Greece from Syria. 

But hey don't let news fucking get in your way.  Just fucking say whatever your little heart desires because you want people to believe your shit.

Just because the passport is clearly a dishonest plant does not imply that the perpetrator was not a jihardist who came through Greece posing as a refugee. He very well may have been.

What does need investigating is just who planted the passport. Someone did; paper passports do not survive suicide vest explosions.

Crossing the border with a fake passport is not exactly an uncommon occurrence. And if you were on any lists that would restrict your travel then a fake ID would come in handy.

 

This passport may have been this guy's only ID, and how many of us walk around everyday without our wallet and ID on us?
