False Flag Terrorism in Paris
Large amounts of oil have been found on the Golan Heights in Syria. Estimates are that the amount of oil discovered will make Israel self sufficient for very many years to come. Three drilling sites on the Golan have uncovered what is potentially billions of barrels of oil, enough to fulfill the Israeli market’s 270,000-barrel-per-day consumption for a very long time. Israel was never going to give the Golan Heights back to Syria anyway, but now that will clearly never happen. Internationally recognized as Syrian territory, the Golan Heights has been occupied and administered by Israel since 1967. In 2010, Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman told Syria to abandon its dreams of recovering the Golan Heights. According to the CIA World Factbook, as of 2010, "there are 41 Israeli settlements and civilian land use sites in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

Whether or not it is a false flag operation, the shootings are being used for a wider purpose or purposes. Among these purposes is: (1) Bringing France back into Washington’s orbit: the French president, Hollande, had recently said that the sanctions against Russia should be terminated — Hollande was allying himself with French economic interests instead of with Washington’s hegemonic foreign policy. (2) Stifling the growing European sympathy for the Palestinians and realigning Europe with Israel. (3) Countering the rising opposition in Europe to more Middle Eastern wars: the American neoconservatives have not completed their agenda — Syria, Iran, Hezbollah, and Saudi Arabia are still standing. My recommendation is that you not believe the print and TV media, but think. The failure of Americans to think is why they are 13 years into war and live in a police state.

World leaders convened for the U.N. General Assembly in late September, a year after the U.S. president declared the formation of an international coalition to "degrade and ultimately destroy" the Islamic State group. Despite billions of dollars spent and thousands of airstrikes, the campaign appears to have made little impact. The extremist group may control slightly less territory than a year ago, but it continues to launch attacks and maintains key strongholds in Syria and Iraq. There is a growing concern about the Syrian refugee crisis. And reports that IS may be planning attacks against Europe may spur some countries to get more involved in the anti-IS coalition. On September 27, 2015, President Francois Hollande announced that French jet fighters had carried out their first airstrikes against IS targets in Syria. France had previously limited its air campaign to IS targets in Iraq. But short of sending in ground forces — an option Western countries are not willing to entertain [on October 30, 2015, the U.S. pledged the first open deployment of military boots on the ground in Syria] — the stalemate in the war against the Islamic State group is likely to persist.

Islamic State claimed responsibility for the Paris attacks on November 13, 2015. In an official statement, the group said France was its 'top target.' It says it carefully studied the locations for the attacks, which were carried out by fighters wearing suicide belts and carrying machine guns. The group says the killings were in response to airstrikes against its militants in Syria, adding that France would remain a 'key target'. [The Guardian, November 14, 2015]
A Syrian passport was found next to the body of one of three suicide bombers who struck near the Stade de France stadium during the game. A Greek minister says the passport belonged to a Syrian refugee who passed through the island of Leros. An Egyptian passport has also been linked to the attacks. Meanwhile, UK official sources have told the BBC they believe a Syrian cell, recently returned to France, was behind the attacks. [BBC, November 14, 2015]
Hassan Nasrallah, chief of Lebanon's powerful Shiite Muslim movement
Hezbollah, strongly condemned Saturday the Islamic State group's attacks
in Paris that killed at least 129 people. "We, Hezbollah, express our
strong condemnation and denunciation of the terrorist attack by the
criminals of Daesh in Paris," he said in a televised address, using the
Arabic acronym for the jihadist group. Expressing
his solidarity with the French people, he said the Middle East was also
suffering "the earthquake" of jihadist groups. IS's extreme interpretation of Sunni Islam considers Shiites to be heretics. Hezbollah
is a leading backer of Syria's embattled President Bashar al-Assad, and
its militiamen have fought alongside regime forces in the country's
civil war. The movement has said its involvement in Syria will keep Lebanon and the region safe from jihadists, including IS. Nasrallah said those who thought the attack on southern
Beirut would discourage Hezbollah from acting in Syria were mistaken. In
Syria "we fought against Daesh and others... but after this operation,
we will search for fronts with Daesh, so our presence will be larger and
stronger," he said."There is no future for Daesh. Not in war and not in peace," he said. Nasrallah
said that at least one of the attackers in the Burj al-Barajneh
explosions was Syrian, but he urged viewers not to retaliate against the
more than one million Syrians who have sought refuge in Lebanon. [AFP, Hezbollah chief denounces Paris attacks, November 14, 2015]
Paris November 2015: ISIS Attack or “False Flag” Operation? (ANALYSIS)
The Paris offices of the satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo came under an attack on January 7th, 2015, killing 12 people. It was
targeted three years ago during controversy over cartoons about Islamic
prophet Mohammed. The offices were destroyed
by a petrol bomb in November 2011, a day after it named the Prophet
Mohammed as its “editor-in-chief” for the week’s issue. The magazine, which had a long-established record of Islam-based jokes,
had announced the publication would be renamed “Sharia Hebdo” for their
latest edition. [Source]

Stephen Lendman, Second Vermont Republic - It’s too soon to know for sure. Given French complicity with ongoing US state terror throughout the Middle East, North Africa and elsewhere, odds strongly favor the latter.
Multiple likely well-planned Friday night attacks in Paris had a disturbing aroma to them – including France’s knee-jerk police state reaction. More on this below. Here’s what happened.
At least seven apparently well-coordinated attacks occurred, gunmen with automatic weapons and suicide belts killing over 150 victims. Many others were injured.
Stade de France stadium was struck during a football (soccer) match between France and Germany. So was the Bataclan theater during a concert, restaurants full of patrons, a cinema, and pedestrians on Bichat Street, the Avenue de la Republique and Boulevard Beaumarchais.
Reports indicated other Paris locations were attacked, including the Forum des Halles shopping area attracting an estimated 150,000 daily visitors.
The predictable aftermath so far includes French President Francois Hollande declaring a state of emergency – effectively suspending constitutional rights under martial law.
“Two decisions will be taken,” Hollande announced. “The state of emergency will be decreed, which means several places will be closed off, and traffic will be limited in certain areas.”Heavily armed French soldiers were deployed around key Parisian locations. Five metro lines were shut. Orly airport flights were suspended. All city schools and universities were closed.
“The state of emergency will apply across the country. The second decision I have taken is to close the borders, so that the people who have committed these crimes can be apprehended.”
“We know where this attack came from. We must show compassion and solidarity, but we must also show we are united. There is much to fear, but we must face these fears as a nation that knows how to muster its forces and will confront the terrorists.”
De facto martial law legitimizes repressive police state powers. Constitutional protections are suspended.
Following the April 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, a no-fly zone was ordered over a 3.5 mile radius of the incident. Swat teams conducted pre-dawn raids throughout the greater area. Residents were terrorized. Helicopters patrolled overhead. Police and FBI operatives were everywhere. Managed news misinformation substituted for accurate reporting.Hollande cancelled his G-20 summit participation, scheduled for November 15 and 16 in Turkey. It’s unclear if Obama will attend. The world’s leading perpetrator of state terrorism offered France “full support,” duplicitously saying America shares the bonds of “liberte, egalite and fraternite.”
Post-9/11, Bush claimed unconstitutional “unitary executive” authority to govern extrajudicially in the name of national security. He declared (phony) war on terror and hot war on Afghanistan. Iraq, Libya, Syria, Donbass and Yemen followed. Police state laws were enacted – still in force. Repressive National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directives were announced.
US post-9/11 knee-jerk reaction blamed bin Laden and Al Qaeda for the attack – the mother of all Big Lies, we now know.
ISIS was automatically blamed for the Paris attacks – despite no evidence so far establishing responsibility. Official statements, actions, and media hype created an atmosphere of fear, a likely public willingness to sacrifice freedom for so-called security, a rationale for harsh measures to try stemming the human refugee flood caused by US-led imperial wars, and a desire for revenge.
Perhaps the stage is set for escalated Western wars OF terror instead of unity to battle the scourge of ISIS and likeminded groups.
Were Friday attacks state-sponsored terrorism – a carefully staged false flag for whatever may follow?
Herman Goering once explained how easy it is to get people to go along with “the bidding of the leaders…All you have to do is 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,” he said.
Friday Paris attacks were either blowback for Western wars on Islam or a state-sponsored false flag. Odds strongly favor the latter. Sordid Western history of false flags for subsequent planned events suggests it.
False flag terrorism occurs when elements within a government stage a secret operation whereby government forces pretend to be a targeted enemy while attacking their own forces or people. The attack is then falsely blamed on the enemy in order to justify going to war against that enemy.On September 20, 2001, George Bush lied to Congress and the public, claiming America was attacked because we are “a beacon of freedom.” The attackers were “evil. This is civilization’s fight.” He suppressed Washington’s direct responsibility for what happened, perhaps complicit with Israel’s Mossad.
The term "false flag" 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 was hung instead of the flag of the real country of the attacking ship, it was called a "false flag" attack. Or as Wikipedia defines it:
False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations 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 aftermath of 9/11 is clear – endless US-led imperial wars, a phony Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), an assault on fundamental human and civil rights, police state harshness replacing them, an America unfit to live in.
Will France and other European countries become more belligerent and repressive than already in response to Friday’s incident?
Were Washington and perhaps Israel’s dirty hands involved in what happened?
Daesh (ISIS/ISIL/IS) is such an easy target to blame. It’s simple getting most people to believe it unquestionably.
The Big Lie repeated often enough works the same way every time. ISIS is the new “Enemy Number One.” Its creation by Washington and use as proxy foot soldiers is suppressed.
Was Friday’s Paris incident prelude to something similar planned for New York, Washington, and/or other US cities?
Unsurprisingly, Western media ignored what has all the earmarks of a well-planned false flag – Washington perhaps complicit with France.
Maybe Israel was involved to justify its reign of terror on Palestine. The usual suspects were blamed (ISIS terrorists, of course) before the dust settled – the clearest indication of a Big Lie.
A joint FBI/Department of Homeland Security statement said “(w)e will not hesitate to adjust our security posture, as appropriate, to protect the American people.” Expect harsher police repression ahead.
The New York Times headlined “Hollande Blames ISIS for ‘Act of War’ on Paris.” It cited “(n)ews agencies quot(ing) (Paris police chief) Michel Cadot saying “all the assailants involved in shootings and bombings were believed to be dead.” Dead men tell no tales!
Other Times articles and commentaries hyped terrorism in Paris, fingers pointing one way, ignoring the most likely explanation for what happened. Other Western media reported the same way.
Washington Post: “French president calls Paris attacks ‘act of war’ by Islamic State.”
“It is horror,” he said, declaring a nationwide state of emergency, ask(ing) for military reinforcements,” and closing France’s borders, blocking entry for refugees fleeing war zones – ones France bears responsibility for with America and other rogue partners.Wall Street Journal: “Hollande Blames ISIS for Paris Attacks.”
“We are going to lead a war which will be pitiless,” Hollande blustered.
The latest from Reuters headlined “Islamic State claims responsibility.” It cited an unverified “official statement” saying “its fighters strapped with suicide bombing belts and carrying machine guns carried out the attacks in various locations in the heart of the capital which were carefully studied” – without further elaboration.
AP News headlined “France Blames IS for Paris Terror Strikes, Vows to Hit Back.”
France’s Le Figaro headlined “War in the heart of Paris” – on a black background with images of victims on stretchers.
Le Monde headlined “Francois Hollande: ‘An act of war’ committed by ‘armed terrorist(s).’ “
London’s Guardian hyped Hollande claiming what happened was an “act of war.”
BBC: “Paris attacks were ‘act of war by IS.’
London’s Guardian hyped Hollande’s “act of war” bluster. Prime Minister David Cameron will “chair an emergency meeting of government ministers and security officials to discuss the British response.”
An unnamed police official was cited, suggesting Britain will elevate the threat of homeland terrorism to the highest level.
Chicago Tribune editors called what happened “terrorist attacks carried out against innocent civilians in France by forces of evil. Again,” referring to last January’s Charlie Hebdo and kosher supermarket incidents – duplicitously adding:
“(T)his attack on France was another attack on the West, on America, on the ideals of liberty, democracy and decency that bind us together.”America, France and rogue Western partners deplore high-minded principles they claim to support. Endless wars of aggression and likely false flags like Friday’s incident highlight their real agenda.
Obama reacted as expected, ignoring his high crimes against peace in numerous US-instigated war theaters, guilty of horrific state terrorism – hyping “an attack on all humanity and the universal values that we share…The American people draw strength from the French people’s commitment to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness.”
“We are reminded in this time of tragedy that the bonds of liberte and egalite and fraternite are not only values that the French people care so deeply about, but they are values that we share.”While murdering, brutalizing, mass imprisoning and torturing Palestinians daily, Netanyahu blustered similar hype, saying Israel stands “shoulder-to-shoulder” with France in the “war against terrorism.”
He sent “condolences on behalf of the Israeli people to the families of the victims” while collectively punishing an entire Palestinian population viciously – waging war without mercy against defenseless civilians.
A separate article called what happened Friday a likely well-planned false flag. Automatically blaming it on ISIS before the dust settled is the clearest indication so far.
Ignore headlined hype. What follows matters most – likely greater US-led war OF terror than already ongoing, perhaps including loss of remaining freedoms.
Does full-blown tyranny loom in the name of defending national security? Expect nothing positive in the aftermath of Friday’s attacks.
Editor's Note: The 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP 21 or CMP 11, will be held in Paris from November 30 to December 11, 2015. It will be the 21st yearly session of the Conference of the Parties to the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the 11th session of the Meeting of the Parties to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. According to the organizing committee, the objective of the 2015 conference is to achieve, for the first time in over 20 years of UN negotiations, a binding and universal agreement on climate from all the nations of the world. Pope Francis published an encyclical called Laudato si' intended, in part, to influence the conference. The encyclical calls for action against climate change. The International Trade Union Confederation has called for the goal to be "zero carbon, zero poverty." Zero carbon is incompatible with life on earth since humans and animals breathe oxygen and emit CO2 as a waste product — the global warming alarmists believe that in order to save the trees (plants absorb CO2 and emit oxygen as a waste product), we must reduce human and animal populations. In other words, only a select few should be allowed to live.
Paris January 2015: Terror Attack at Charlie Hebdo a 'False Flag Operation'?
Suspicions are growing that the French shootings are a false flag operation. Considering the number of real journalists on war fronts, not cartoonists in Paris, killed by Washington-funded and organized ISIS, including filmed beheadings, the uproar over the cartoonists’ deaths has the appearance of orchestration.January 15, 2015
NewsMax - Last week's terror attack on offices of the satirical Charlie Hebdo magazine "has many of the characteristics of a false flag operation" and "simply doesn't wash," claims a blog post on the website for the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity on Wednesday. The institute is connected to former GOP presidential candidate and Rep. Ron Paul, the father of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a potential presidential candidate himself.
"The attack on the cartoonists' office was a disciplined professional attack of the kind associated with highly trained special forces, yet the suspects who were later corralled and killed seemed bumbling and unprofessional," writes columnist Paul Craig Roberts.
"It is like two different sets of people ... the Charlie Hebdo story simply doesn't wash. If you believe it, you are no match for a Muslim."
But ironically, they left identification in their getaway car, which Roberts said reminded him "of the undamaged passport found miraculously among the ruins of the two WTC towers that served to establish the identity of the alleged 9/11 hijackers."
The 9/11 attack showed that 19 Muslims, without government support, were able to outwit "not only all 16 US intelligence agencies, the National Security Council, Dick Cheney and all the neoconservatives in high positions throughout the US government, and airport security, but also the intelligence services of NATO and Israel’s Mossad," if the official story is to believed, said Roberts.
And he wanted to know how "such intelligent and capable people" who could orchestrate the 9/11 attacks "could possibly be so stupid as to shoot themselves in the head when they could have thrown France into turmoil with a mere lawsuit?"
Instead, says Roberts, it's a "plausible inference" that the identification belonged to Cherif and Said Kouachi, but they were "convenient patsies" who were later killed by the police, but not the identifications of the real Charlie Hebdo killers.
And the third suspect, Hamyd Mourad, who had allegedly driven the getaway car, turned himself in and says he has an alibi, said Roberts, which would make him the "despoiler of a false flag attack" who could be "coerced or tortured into some sort of confession."
Instead, claimed Roberts, Mourad turned himself in to prevent being killed as a terrorist, and none of the media is reporting the reason for his surrender.
Another story not being reported is the suicide of French Judicial Police official Helric Fredou, who died "in the middle of the night while writing his report on his investigation," said Roberts.
"The official story is that Fredou was suffering from 'depression' and 'burnout,' but no evidence is provided," said Roberts. "Depression and burnout are the standard explanations of mysterious deaths that have unsettling implications."
Fredou, 45, shot himself on Jan. 7 with his own police weapon in his office after meeting the relatives of one of the Charlie Hebdo victims, reports The Daily Mail. He had been a police officer since 1997 and the regional police deputy director since 2012.
Roberts accused the American media of "serving as a ministry of propaganda for Washington," by repeating the "implausible story" behind the Charlie Hebdo killings.
"Why would Muslims be more outraged by cartoons in a Paris magazine than by hundreds of thousands of Muslims killed by Washington and its French and NATO vassals in seven countries during the past 14 years?" said Roberts. "If Muslims wanted to make a point of the cartoons, why not bring a hate crime charge or lawsuit?"
"Americans are a pitifully misinformed people," said Roberts. "All of history is a history of false flag operations. Yet Americans dismiss such proven operations as “conspiracy theories,” which merely proves that government has successfully brainwashed insouciant Americans and deprived them of the ability to recognize the truth."
