and Widespread

Presidents, Prime Ministers, Congressmen, Generals,
Spooks, Soldiers and Police ADMIT to False Flag Terror
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, this and 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 several
attacks on their own people and resources which they blamed on the Poles, to
justify the invasion of Poland. The staged attacks included:
- The German
radio station Sender Gleiwitz [details below]
- The
strategic railway at POSunka Pass (Jabłonków
Incident), located on the border between Poland and Czechoslovakia
- The German
customs station at Hochlinden (today part of Rybnik-Stodoły)
- The forest
service station in Pitschen (Byczyna)
- The
communications station at Neubersteich (“Nieborowitzer Hammer” before 12
February 1936, now Kuznia Nieborowska)
- The
railroad station in Alt-Eiche (Smolniki), Rosenberg in Westpreußen
district
- A woman and
her companion in Katowice
The details of the Gleiwitz radio station
incident include:
On the night of 31 August 1939, a small group of
German operatives dressed in Polish uniforms and led by Naujocks seized the
Gleiwitz station and broadcast a short anti-German message in Polish (sources
vary on the content of the message). The Germans’ goal was to make the attack
and the broadcast look like the work of anti-German Polish saboteurs.
To make the attack seem more convincing, the Germans
used human corpses to pass them off as Polish attackers. They murdered Franciszek
Honiok, a 43-year-old unmarried German Silesian Catholic farmer known for
sympathizing with the Poles. He had been arrested the previous day by the
Gestapo. He was dressed to look like a saboteur, then killed by lethal
injection, given gunshot wounds, and left dead at the scene so that he appeared
to have been killed while attacking the station. His corpse was subsequently
presented to the police and press as proof of the attack.
(3) The minutes of the high command of the Italian
government – subsequently approved by Mussolini himself – admitted that violence on the
Greek-Albanian border was carried out by Italians and falsely blamed on the
Greeks, as an excuse for Italy’s 1940 invasion of Greece.
(4) 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.
(5) 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.
(6) The Russian Parliament, current Russian president Putin and
former Soviet leader Gorbachevall 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.
(7) The British government admits that – between 1946 and 1948 – it
bombed 5 ships carrying Jews who were Holocaust survivors attempting to flee to
safety in Palestine right after World War II, 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).
(8) 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).
The U.S. Army does not believe this is an isolated
incident. For example, the U.S. Army’s School of Advanced Military
Studies said of Mossad (Israel’s intelligence
service):
“Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target U.S.
forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act.”
(9) 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.
(10) 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.
Starting in the 1950s Turkey’s deep state sponsored
killings, engineered riots, colluded with drug traffickers, staged “false flag”
attacks and organised massacres of trade unionists. Thousands died in the chaos
it fomented.
(11) 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.
As one participant in this formerly-secret program
stated:
False flag attacks carried out pursuant to this
program include – by way of example only:
(13) 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]”.

(14) 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.
(15) 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.
(16) 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.
(17) The U.S. Department of Defense also 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.”
(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 transmissions 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) In 1993, a bomb in Northern Ireland killed 9
civilians. Official documents from the Royal Ulster Constabulary (i.e. the
British government) show that the mastermind of the bombing was
a British agent, and that the bombing was designed to inflame sectarian
tensions. And see this and this.
(26) 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.
(27) 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.
(28) A Rwandan government inquiry admitted that the 1994 shootdown and
murder of the Rwandan president, who was from the Hutu tribe –
a murder blamed by the Hutus on the rival Tutsi tribe, and
which led to the massacre of more than 800,000 Tutsis by Hutus – was committed
by Hutu soldiers and falsely blamed on the Tutsi. [GR Editor:
This government report is contested. The alleged role of foreign powers in the
shoot down is not acknowledged]
(30) 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).
(31) As reported by the New York Times, BBC and Associated Press, Macedonian officials admit that
in 2001, 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”. They lured foreign migrants into
the country, executed them in a staged gun battle, and then claimed they were a
unit backed by Al Qaeda intent on attacking Western embassies”. Specifically,
Macedonian authorities had lured the immigrants into the country, and then –
after killing them – posed the victims with planted evidence – “bags of
uniforms and semiautomatic weapons at their side” – to show Western diplomats.
(32) 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.
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 allegedthat
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.).
(35) 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.
(36) The well-respected former Indonesian president
also admits that the government probably had a
role in the Bali bombings.
(38) In 2003, the U.S. Secretary of Defense admitted that interrogators were authorized to use the
following method: “False Flag: Convincing the detainee that individuals from a
country other than the United States are interrogating him.” While not a
traditional false flag attack, this deception could lead to former
detainees – many of whom were tortured –
attacking the country falsely blamed for the interrogation and torture.
(39) 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.”
(40) 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.’”
(41) 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.
(42) In 2005, British soldiers dressed as
Arabs were caught by Iraqi police after a shootout against the police. The
soldiers apparently possessed explosives, and
were accused of attempting to set off bombs. While none of the
soldiers admitted that they were carrying out attacks, British soldiers and a
column of British tanks stormed the jail they were held in, broke
down a wall of the jail, and busted them out. The extreme measures used to
free the soldiers – rather than have them face questions and potentially stand
trial – could be considered an admission.
(43) 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.
(44) Quebec police admitted that, in 2007, thugs carrying rocks to a
peaceful protest were actually undercover Quebec police officers (and see this).
(45) 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.”)
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.
(47) An undercover officer admitted that he infiltrated
environmental, leftwing and anti-fascist groups in 22 countries. Germany’s
federal police chief admitted that – while the undercover
officer worked for the German police – he acted illegally during a G8 protest
in Germany in 2007 and committed arson by setting fire during a subsequent
demonstration in Berlin. The undercover officer spent many years living with violent “Black Bloc”
anarchists.
(48) Denver police admitted that uniformed officers
deployed in 2008 to an area where alleged “anarchists” had planned to wreak
havoc outside the Democratic National Convention ended up getting into a melee
with two undercover policemen. The uniformed officers didn’t know the
undercover officers were cops.
(49) 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.
(50) The oversight agency for the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police admitted that – at the G20 protests in
Toronto in 2010 – undercover police officers were arrested with a group of
protesters. Videos and photos (see this and this,
for example) show that violent protesters wore very similar boots and other
gear as the police, and carried police batons. The Globe and Mail reports that the undercover officers
planned the targets for violent attack, and the police failed to stop the
attacks.
(51) Egyptian politicians admitted (and see this) that government employees looted priceless
museum artifacts 2011 to try to discredit the protesters.
(52) Austin police admit that 3 officers infiltrated the
Occupy protests in that city. Prosecutors admit that one of the undercover officers
purchased and constructed illegal “lock boxes” which ended up getting many
protesters arrested.
(53) In 2011, a Colombian colonel admitted that he and his soldiers had lured 57 innocent
civilians and killed them – after dressing many of them in uniforms – as part
of a scheme to claim that Columbia was eradicating left-wing terrorists.
And see this.
(54) 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.
(55) 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.
(56) 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.
It’s gotten so ridiculous that a U.S. Senator has
introduced a “Stop Arming Terrorists Act”,
and U.S. Congresswoman – who introduced a similar bill in the House – says:
“For years, the U.S. government has been supporting
armed militant groups working directly with and often under the command of
terrorist groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda in their fight to overthrow the Syrian
government.”
(59) 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.
(60) Speaking of snipers, in a secret recording,
Venezuelan generals admit that they will deploy snipers to
shoot protesters, but keep the marksmen well-hidden from demonstrator and the
reporters covering the events so others would be blamed for the deaths.
(61) Burmese government officials admitted that Burma (renamed Myanmar)
used false flag attacks against Muslim and Buddhist groups within the country
to stir up hatred between the two groups, to prevent democracy from spreading.
(62) Israeli police were again filmed in 2015 dressing up as Arabs and throwing stones,
then turning over Palestinian protesters to Israeli soldiers.
(63) 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.
(64) The CIA has admitted that it uses viruses and malware from Russia
and other countries to carry out cyberattacks and blame other countries.
(65) 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.
(66) German prosecutors admit that a German soldier disguised
himself as a Syrian refugee and planned to shoot people so that the attack
would be blamed on asylum seekers.
(67) 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.
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 themduring
a stakeout.
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.
(68) A former U.S. intelligence officer recently alleged:
Most terrorists are false flag terrorists or are
created by our own security services.
(69) 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.
(70) The Director of Analytics at the interagency Global
Engagement Center housed at the U.S. Department of State, also an adjunct
professor at George Mason University, where he teaches the graduate course
National Security Challenges in the Department of Information Sciences and
Technology, a former branch chief in the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center, and an
intelligence advisor to the Secretary of Homeland Security (J.D. Maddox) notes:
Provocation is one of the most basic, but confounding,
aspects of warfare. Despite its sometimes obvious use, it has succeeded
consistently against audiences around the world, for millennia, to compel war.
A well-constructed provocation narrative mutes even the most vocal opposition.
***
The culmination of a strategic provocation operation
invariably reflects a narrative of victimhood: we are the victims of
the enemy’s unforgivable atrocities.
***
In the case of strategic provocation the deaths of an
aggressor’s own personnel are a core tactic of the provocation.
***
The persistent use of strategic provocation over
centuries – and its apparent importance to war planners – begs the question of
its likely use by the US and other states in the near term.
(71) 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 1: It is not just “modern” nations
which have launched false flag attacks. For example, a Native American from one
tribe (Pomunkey) murdered a white Englishwoman living in Virginia in 1697 and
then falsely blamed it on second tribe (Piscataway). But
he later admitted in court that he was not
really Piscataway, and that he had been paid by a provocateur from a third tribe
(Iroquois) to kill the woman as a way to start a war between the English
and the Piscataway, thus protecting the profitable Iroquois monopoly in trade
with the English.
Postscript 2: On multiple occasions, atrocities
or warmongering are falsely blamed on the enemy as a justification for war …
when no such event ever occurred. This is more like a “fake flag”
than a “false flag”, as no actual terrorism occurred.
For example:
- 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
- Pulitzer
prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind reported that the White House ordered the CIA to
forge and backdate a document falsely linking Iraq with Muslim terrorists
and 9/11 … and that the CIA complied with those instructions and in fact
created the forgery, which was then used to justify war against Iraq. And
see this and this
- Time
magazine points out that the claim
by President Bush that Iraq was attempting to buy “yellow
cake” Uranium from Niger:
had been checked out — and debunked — by U.S.
intelligence a year before the President repeated it.
- The
“humanitarian” wars in Syria, Libya and Yugoslavia were all justified by
highly exaggerated reports that the leaders
of those countries were committing atrocities against their people.
And see this
Afterword: The corporate media will likely never report
on false flags … as it is ALWAYS pro-war.
