The First Question to Ask After Any Terror Attack:
Was It a False Flag?By
WashingtonsBlog
Presidents, Prime Ministers,
Congressmen, Generals, Spooks, Soldiers and Police ADMIT to False
Flag Terror
November 14, 2015 "Information
Clearing House" - "WashingtonsBlog"-
- In the following instances, officials in the government which
carried out the attack (or seriously proposed an attack) admit
to it, either orally, in writing, or through photographs or
videos:
(1) 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.
(2) 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.
(3) 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.
(4) 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.
(5) The Russian Parliament, current Russian
president Putin and former Soviet leader Gorbachev all
admit that Soviet leader Joseph Stalin ordered his secret police
to execute 22,000 Polish army officers and civilians in 1940, and
then falsely blamed it on the Nazis.
(6) The British government
admits that – between 1946 and 1948 – it bombed 5 ships carrying
Jews attempting to flee the Holocaust to seek safety in Palestine,
set up a fake group called “Defenders of Arab Palestine”, and then
had the psuedo-group falsely claim responsibility for the bombings
(and see
this,
this and
this).
(7) Israel
admits that in 1954, 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).
(8) 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.
(9) 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.
(10) 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.
(11) 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. They also allegedly carried out terror attacks
in
France, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway,
Portugal, the UK, and other countries.
False flag attacks carried out pursuant to this
program include – by way of example only:
(12) In 1960, American Senator George Smathers
suggested that the U.S. launch “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]“.
(13) Official State Department documents show
that, in 1961, 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 plans were not
carried out, but they were all discussed as serious proposals.
(14) As admitted by the U.S. government, recently
declassified documents show that in 1962, 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.
(15) In 1963, the U.S. Department of Defense wrote
a paper
promoting attacks on nations within the Organization of American
States – such as Trinidad-Tobago or Jamaica – and then falsely
blaming them on Cuba.
(16) The U.S. Department of Defense even
suggested covertly paying a person in the Castro government to
attack the United States: “The only area remaining for consideration
then would be to bribe one of Castro’s subordinate commanders to
initiate an attack on Guantanamo.”
(17) 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.
(18) 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.
(19) A
top Turkish general
admitted that Turkish forces burned down a mosque on Cyprus in
the 1970s and blamed it on their enemy. He
explained: “In Special War, certain acts of sabotage are
staged and blamed on the enemy to increase public resistance.
We did this on Cyprus; we even burnt down a mosque.” In response to
the surprised correspondent’s incredulous look the general said, “I
am giving an example”.
(20) A
declassified 1973 CIA document
reveals a program to train foreign police and troops on how to
make booby traps, pretending that they were training them on how to
investigate terrorist acts:
The Agency maintains liaison in varying
degrees with foreign police/security organizations through its
field stations ….
[CIA provides training sessions as follows:]
a. Providing trainees with basic
knowledge in the uses of commercial and military demolitions and
incendiaries as they may be applied in terrorism and
industrial sabotage operations.
b. Introducing the trainees to
commercially available materials and home laboratory techniques,
likely to he used in the manufacture of explosives and
incendiaries by terrorists or saboteurs.
c. Familiarizing the trainees with the concept
of target analysis and operational planning
that a saboteur or terrorist must employ.
d. Introducing the trainees to booby trapping
devices and techniques giving practical experience
with both manufactured and improvised devices through
actual fabrication.
***
The program provides the trainees with
ample opportunity to develop basic familiarity and use
proficiently through handling, preparing and applying the
various explosive charges, incendiary agents, terrorist devices
and sabotage techniques.
(21) 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.
(22) A Mossad agent
admits that, in 1984, Mossad planted a radio transmitter in
Gaddaffi’s compound in Tripoli, Libya which broadcast fake terrorist
trasmissions recorded by Mossad, in order to frame Gaddaffi as a
terrorist supporter. Ronald Reagan bombed Libya immediately
thereafter.
(23) 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.
(24) 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).
(25) The United States Army’s 1994 publication
Special Forces Foreign Internal Defense Tactics Techniques and
Procedures for Special Forces – updated in 2004 –
recommends employing terrorists and using false flag operations
to destabilize leftist regimes in Latin America. False flag
terrorist attacks were carried out in Latin America and other
regions as part of the CIA’s “Dirty
Wars“. And
see this.
(26) Similarly, a CIA “psychological operations”
manual prepared by a CIA contractor for the Nicaraguan Contra rebels
noted the value of assassinating someone on your own side to
create a “martyr” for the cause. The manual was
authenticated by the U.S. government. The manual received so
much publicity from Associated Press, Washington Post and other news
coverage that – during the 1984 presidential debate – President
Reagan was
confronted with the following question on national television:
At this moment, we are confronted with the
extraordinary story of a CIA guerrilla manual for the
anti-Sandinista contras whom we are backing, which advocates not
only assassinations of Sandinistas but the
hiring of criminals to assassinate the guerrillas
we are supporting in order to create martyrs.
(27) 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”.
(28) 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).
(29) 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”.
(30) At the July 2001 G8 Summit in Genoa, Italy,
black-clad thugs were
videotaped getting out of police cars, and were
seen by an Italian MP carrying “iron bars inside the police
station”. Subsequently, senior police officials in Genoa
subsequently
admitted that police planted two Molotov cocktails and faked the
stabbing of a police officer at the G8 Summit, in order to justify a
violent crackdown against protesters.
(31) 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. (Many U.S. officials have
alleged that 9/11 was a false flag operation by rogue elements
of the U.S. government; but such a claim is beyond the scope of this
discussion. The key point is that the U.S. falsely blamed it on
Iraq, when it knew Iraq had nothing to do with it.).
(32) 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.
(33) 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.
(34) The well-respected former Indonesian
president also
admits that the government probably had a role in the Bali
bombings.
(35) Police outside of a 2003 European Union
summit in Greece were filmed
planting Molotov cocktails on a peaceful protester
(36) 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.”
(37) Similarly, in 2005,
Professor John Arquilla of the Naval Postgraduate School – a
renowned US defense analyst credited with developing the concept of
‘netwar’ –
called for western intelligence services to create new
“pseudo gang” terrorist groups, as a way of undermining
“real” terror networks. According to Pulitzer-Prize winning
journalist Seymour Hersh, Arquilla’s ‘pseudo-gang’ strategy was,
Hersh reported,
already being implemented by the Pentagon:
“Under Rumsfeld’s new approach, I was told, US
military operatives would be permitted to pose abroad as corrupt
foreign businessmen seeking to buy contraband items that could
be used in nuclear-weapons systems. In some cases, according to
the Pentagon advisers, local citizens could be recruited
and asked to join up with guerrillas or terrorists…
The new rules will enable the Special Forces
community to set up what it calls ‘action teams’ in the target
countries overseas which can be used to find and eliminate
terrorist organizations. ‘Do you
remember the right-wing execution squads in El Salvador?’ the
former high-level intelligence official asked me, referring to
the military-led gangs that committed atrocities in the early
nineteen-eighties. ‘We founded them and we financed them,’ he
said. ‘The objective now is to recruit locals in any area we
want. And we aren’t going to tell Congress about it.’ A former
military officer, who has knowledge of the Pentagon’s commando
capabilities, said, ‘We’re going to be riding with the bad
boys.’”
(38) 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.
(39) 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.
(40) Quebec police
admitted that, in 2007, thugs carrying rocks to a peaceful
protest were actually undercover Quebec police officers (and
see this).
(41) A 2008 US Army special operations field
manual
recommends that the U.S. military use surrogate non-state groups
such as “paramilitary forces, individuals, businesses, foreign
political organizations, resistant or insurgent organizations,
expatriates, transnational terrorism adversaries,
disillusioned transnational terrorism members, black
marketers, and other social or political ‘undesirables.’” The manual
specifically acknowledged that U.S. special operations can involve
both counterterrorism and “Terrorism” (as well as “transnational
criminal activities, including narco-trafficking, illicit
arms-dealing, and illegal financial transactions.”)
(42) The former head of Secret Services and Head
of State of Italy (Francesco Cossiga)
advised the 2008 minister in charge of the police, on how to
deal with protests from teachers and students:
He should do what I did when I was Minister of
the Interior … infiltrate the movement with agents provocateurs
inclined to do anything …. And after that, with the strength of
the gained population consent, … beat them for blood and beat
for blood also those teachers that incite them. Especially the
teachers. Not the elderly, of course, but the girl teachers yes.
(43) 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.
(44) Egyptian politicians
admitted (and
see this) that government employees looted priceless museum
artifacts in 2011 to try to discredit the protesters.
(45) Rioters who discredited the peaceful protests
against the swearing in of the Mexican president in 2012
admitted that they were paid 300 pesos each to destroy
everything in their path. According to Wikipedia, photos also
show the vandals waiting in groups behind police lines prior to
the violence.
(46) 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.
(47) On November 20, 2014, Mexican agent
provocateurs were transported by army vehicles to participate in the
2014 Iguala mass kidnapping protests, as was
shown by videos and pictures distributed via social networks.
(48) 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.
(49) 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.
(50) The Ukrainian security chief
admits that the sniper attacks which started the Ukrainian coup
were carried out in order to frame others. Ukrainian officials
admit that the Ukrainian snipers fired on both sides, to create
maximum chaos.
(51) Britain’s spy agency has
admitted (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.
(52) 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
(53) Similarly, police frame innocent people for
crimes they didn’t commit. The practice is so well-known that the
New York Times
noted in 1981:
In police jargon, a throwdown is a weapon
planted on a victim.
Newsweek
reported in 1999:
Perez, himself a former [Los Angeles Police
Department] cop, was caught stealing eight pounds of cocaine
from police evidence lockers. After pleading guilty in
September, he bargained for a lighter sentence by telling an
appalling story of attempted murder and a
“throwdown”–police slang for a weapon planted by cops to make a
shooting legally justifiable. Perez said he and his
partner, Officer Nino Durden, shot an unarmed 18th Street Gang
member named Javier Ovando, then planted a semiautomatic
rifle on the unconscious suspect and claimed that Ovando had
tried to shoot them during a stakeout.
Wikipedia
notes:
As part of his plea bargain, Pérez implicated
scores of officers from the Rampart Division’s anti-gang unit,
describing routinely beating gang members,
planting evidence on suspects, falsifying reports and covering
up unprovoked shootings.
(As a side note – and while not technically false
flag attacks – police have been busted
framing innocent people in many other ways, as well.)
(54) A former U.S. intelligence officer recently
alleged:
Most terrorists are false flag terrorists or
are created by our own security services.
(55) The head and special agent in charge of the
FBI’s Los Angeles office
said that most terror attacks are committed by the CIA and FBI
as false flags. Similarly, the director of the National Security
Agency under Ronald Reagan – Lt. General William Odom
said:
By any measure the US has long used terrorism.
In ‘78-79 the Senate was trying to pass a law against
international terrorism – in every version they produced, the
lawyers said the US would be in violation.
(audio
here).
(56) Leaders throughout history have acknowledged
the “benefits” of of false flags to justify their political agenda:
“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
Postscript: Private parties – such as
NBC News, as well as
Muslims, Jews, Scientologists, African-Americans and Neo-Nazis –
play this game as well.
