False Flags - Governments from Around the World Admit They Do It

There are many documented false flag attacks, where a government carries out a terror attack and then falsely blames its enemy for political purposes.

In the following 42 instances, officials in the government which carried out the attack (or seriously proposed an attack) admits to it, either orally or in writing:

(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 Unions 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 falsely blame 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 peoples 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.

(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 ABCs 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 Castros 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 correspondents incredulous look the general said, I am giving an example.

(20) 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.

(21) A Mossad agent admits that, in 1984, Mossad planted a radio transmitter in Gaddaffis 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.

(22) 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.

(23) 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).

(24) 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.

(25) 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).

(26) 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.

(27) The well-respected former Indonesian president also admits that the government probably had a role in the Bali bombings.

(28) 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.

(29) Senior police officials in Genoa, Italy admitted that in July 2001, at the G8 summit in Genoa planted two Molotov cocktails and faked the stabbing of a police officer, in order to justify a violent crackdown against protesters.

(30) 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.

(31) Similarly, the U.S. falsely blamed Iraq for playing a role in the 9/11 attacks as shown by a memo from the defense secretary as one of the main justifications for launching the Iraq war. Even after the 9/11 Commission admitted that there was no connection, Dick Cheney said that the evidence is overwhelming that al Qaeda had a relationship with Saddam Husseins 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).

(32) 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-Qaedas ranks, causing operatives to doubt others identities and to question the validity of communications.

(33) 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.

(34) 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.

(35) Quebec police admitted that, in 2007, thugs carrying rocks to a peaceful protest were actually undercover Quebec police officers (and see this).

(36) 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.

(37) Egyptian politicians admitted (and see this) that government employees looted priceless museum artifacts in 2011 to try to discredit the protesters.

(38) 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.

(39) 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.

(40) 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.

(41) The former Ukrainian security chief admits that the sniper attacks which started the Ukrainian coup were carried out in order to frame others.

(42) Britains 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.

In addition, two-thirds of the City of Rome burned down in a huge fire on July 19, 64 A.D. The Roman people blamed the Emperor Nero for starting the fire. Some top Roman leaders including the Roman consul Cassius Dio, as well as historians like Suetonius agreed that Nero started the fire (based largely on the fact that the Roman Senate had just rejected Neros application to clear 300 acres in Rome so that he could build a palatial complex, and that the fire allowed him to build his complex). Regardless of who actually started the fire, Nero in the face of public opinion accusing him of arson falsely blamed the Christians for starting the fire. He then rounded up and brutally tortured and murdered scores of Christians for something they likely didnt do.

We didnt include this in the list above, because if Nero did start the fire on purpose he did it for his own reasons (to build his palatial complex), and not for geopolitical reasons benefiting his nation.So Common Theres a Name for It

The use of the bullys trick is so common that it was given a name hundreds of years ago.

False flag terrorism is defined as a government attacking its own people, then blaming others in order to justify going to war against the people it blames. Or as Wikipedia defines it:

False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than ones own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time; for example, during Italys strategy of tension.

The term comes from the old days of wooden ships, when one ship would hang the flag of its enemy before attacking another ship. Because the enemys flag, instead of the flag of the real country of the attacking ship, was hung, it was called a false flag attack.

Indeed, this concept is so well-accepted that rules of engagement for naval, air and land warfare all prohibit false flag attacks.Leaders Throughout History Have Acknowledged False Flags

Leaders throughout history have acknowledged the danger of false flags:

A history of false flag attacks used to manipulate the minds of the people! In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule. ? Friedrich Nietzsche

Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death. Adolph Hitler

Why of course the people dont 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

Russia should give Finland back the land that Stalin stole from that country. Tom

Nice list, accept the holocaust is one huge fabricationas well as the reasons we went to war against Germany. WW1 and WW2 were bankster wars behind the Rothschild Cabal. Jewish supremacy and Zionism is destroying the world, just like they were destroying Germany with their Weimar Republic in 1933. Kelly Kendrick

It is obvious that these incidents were cherry-picked to spread the blame around. Some minor false flags made this list while some MAJOR ones, such as the Lavon Affair, King David Hotel Bombing, and the attack on the USS Liberty, are NOTABLY absent. I wonder why? joseph j guider

you are so right, WHY are they absent? By Way of Deception

Indeed, Israel has proven itself the absolute master of the false flag operation, their officially-secret motto (translated) being, By Way of Deception, Thou Shalt Do War.

Maybe the author plans to make a separate post detailing Israels many false flag attacks, since this single country might have otherwise occupied the entire list.

And perhaps taking its clues from the (listed) Katyn massacre, Israel secretly executed hundreds of captured Egyptian prisoners in the 1967 war.

Though oddly enough, Israel has in recent years openly celebrated the perpetrators of the King David Hotel false-flag terrorist bombing as national heroes. Which is in stark contrast to the USS Liberty attack, as Israel still clings to the thoroughly-debunked lie that not one of its fighter pilots or navy gunboat officers could tell the difference between a US Navy ship and an Egyptian horse freighter (one supposedly using US Navy radio frequencies, every one of which was promptly jammed). Kathairein Magdalena

IMO By way of deception, thou shalt do RELIGIONS-AS-WEAPONRY could be the officially secret motto of Zionist Israel and the Saturn worshiping Vatican [AT LEAST]. Study ASTRO-THEOLOGY a bit, and SYMBOLS OF AN ALIEN SKY, and listen to MICHAEL TSARION and others, who research religious-falsehoods. You will gradually see that there is NO FOUNDATION for all of the religions based upon the TORAH, NEW TESTAMENT and KORAN. These three are the most WELL USED False Flags in the past 6000 years. To be effective one must consider the source, and find the cause. Someone else wrote this idea: The one who controls the past, controls the present, and the one who controls the present, controls the future. World problems are caused by the Ancient Priest Classes. lgs

Because this is a list of ADMITTED false flags. Gord Hicks

The Lavon Affair was about an admitted false flag The Israeli defense minister had to resign over it. Dont know about King David Hotel Bombing DarlK

I lost two fiends on the Liberty. To this day, I do not trust Israel

Who could blame you? David Parker

Just remember, its never the people, it is always the so-called leaders and whoever is pulling the leaders strings. People just want to live and enjoy their families and friends: Leaders want to total power over everyone and the smart ones prefer their power to be unseen. By the way, no one in government is my leader. Neither are the lawmakers. God (and I do not mean Allah or any of the other pagan fictions) makes laws, we do but discover them.

Sincerely, David Parker Gord Hicks

Was the USS Liberty a false flag? I thought the Israelis tried to claim (laughably) it was a mistake, that they mistook the Liberty for an Egyptian cargo ship the El-Quseir Steve

You think the Holocaust is a fabrication? Posterchimp

What do you think it is? Vanessa Mota Gil

The holocaust happened, I was raised by my German grandmother (who is not Jewish) and grew up hearing about her Jewish friends and family (by marriage) being killed, 911 also happened! the question is not weather they happened but who did it! David Parker

whether krinks

General Eisenhower ordered the Death Camps to be extensively documented in case people would come along years later pretending they never happened. He foresaw you. JCLincoln

I agree. Just like 911. Never happened. Its amazing what people will believe if you just put it on television. IT WAS A MOVIE.JUST LIKE THEY MAKE ALL OTHER MOVIES THAT ARENT REAL! Silly people. Marty999

Oh the small minded beings that utter nonsense and lies.. TOM and JCLincoln. My mother and grandparents lived through WWII under Hitler. I have hours upon hours of interviews from my Grandmother before she passed documenting her and my Grandfathers lives through this dark period of mankind. My mother is still deeply scarred from her experience as a child and we talk about it from time to time. I suggest you watch two movies that document the evilness of humanity that are based on actual true stories. The first is The Book Thief the second is The Lives of Others which takes place in 1980s East Germany.

I doubt you will take the time to educate your highly perverse selves

I lived in West Berlin when Checkpoint Charlie and the Berlin Wall still existed I suppose you would tell me that those were just fabricated stage props and did not really exist in real life JCLincoln

On the contrary, Marty. Not all catastrophes in history are false flags. I am not a holocaust denier as many are these days, rather I am a strong supporter of the Jewish people. I say in concert with them, Never Again and back it up with action in my city of Phoenix. And when the Powers That Be that exist today are backing the same sentiments today, and not just against the Jewish people but we see it against Christians as well, we must say together, Never Again!

If I die in this present age, it will not be from ignorance of the reality of who is behind and promoting the anti-TrueGodism in our time. It will be while pointing to the Beast and trying to destroy it before it destroys us.

I am not a holocaust denier as Tom is (holocaust is one huge fabrication). Please dont put me in the same category. Vanessa Mota Gil

Im actually starting to belive the whole Jewish Zionist theory is the big False Flag we are constantly uncovering cases of child sexual abuse amongst the Christian churches, schools and childrens homes, bodies of babies are being dug up under these places all the time, the evidence has been staring us in the face the whole time!! http://www.collective-evolution.com/2015/02/12/whistleblower-kids-expose-satanic-pedophile-ring-in-schoolchurch-they-need-our-help/ joe

What about 911? Steve

Other than the debatable comment from Larry Silverstein (pull it), has there been anyone in the high ranks of US government who have admitted it was a false flag attack? We all know it was, but the article was about FFs that were admitted by those involved. kristin carr

and the sandy hook and the Boston run and the French Australian Canadian shootings the school shootings ext. ext .The list needs updating Cathy Davis

Its not a false flag as nd hasnt been proven as such. olivia

Thank you for your great journalism! Please post a public coin address so I can send you a tip! olivia

never mind, i found it. coin sent :) legal eagle

With a list this long it is only reasonable to assume that when ANY dramatic event takes place that the first reaction should be to question the legitimacy of it on face value. The only reasonable view point is to assume it is a false flag until concrete evidence to the contrary is laid out in FULL discovery. goingnowherefast

Always ask who benefits. Not long after the false flag they are sure to reveal themselves. Better a conspiracy theorist than a coincidence theorist. The coincidences have been piling up pretty high these days. heng yong

When citing Nazi false flag operations admitted at Nuremberg one should keep in mind that torture was used to get these admissions. We see the value of torture-based evidence from Guantanamo. Posterchimp

Neither were admitted by the perpetrators Posterchimp

What the fuck is a holocaust anyway Tell the motherfuckers to define the word first. ctmagnus

Definitions of holocaust noun destruction or slaughter on a mass scale, especially caused by fire or nuclear war. a nuclear holocaust synonyms: cataclysm, disaster, catastrophe, destruction, devastation,annihilation, massacre, slaughter, mass murder, extermination, extirpation,carnage, butchery, genocide, ethnic cleansing, pogrom a Jewish sacrificial offering that is burned completely on an altar. In open sacrifice, the smoke of their holocaust at the temple is sent aloft with an unspoken prayer to the old gods. ctmagnus

The second part is the ORIGINAL OR ANCIENT MEANING anami

Keep in mind this list is drawn from incidents where False Flag was admitted by the perpetrator. taberenc

well.. the 11M seems a clear try of falsely accusing someone to be the perpetrator for obtain political advantage, but instead of the huge amounts of evidences, Spain will never recognise false flag actions.. Well, i remember one exception probed by the historians: in Barcelona, beginings of the XX th century, there was a guy paid by the central gov. of Madrid for organise riots and calling people to burn churches and attack spanish interests. That guy was called Alejandro Lerroux. There are evidences that was paid then by the spanish presidency as a way to blame the catalan independentism of terrorism. In Catalonia that is known as lerrouxism, and if not admited (i dont know if was admitted or not), the bills that prove that exists, and for historians is a displayed, closed case of internal false flag. Lerroux and his actions lasted a few years. taberenc

well.. i cant see a link of aknowledging the lerrouxism as paid by the central gov. I heard it to university professors of history, but seems that has not still gone from the university papers to the mass media. : / taberenc

i miss some. example: the american ship Maine destroyed on cuba. internal explosion on the vessel, spain was blamed for that, what began the hispano-american war for cuba. Is one of the most known examples of false flag; dont know why is not on the list. http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerra_hispano-estadounidense seems that some of the papers of the mangosta operation, decades later, make reference to the Maine issue aknowledging that was internally done on purpose. the american version of a water mine is false according to the evidences. Some say that was an internal accident used politically to begin a war. Another example is the former president Aznar and his gov. , that having elections the 13 of march 2004, blamed the ETA of the terrorist attacks on Atocha train station in Madrid happened the 11 of march, when all the evidences, including the al-qaeda claim, said that was a islamist attack. the conservative government of the Partido Popular (PP) thought that blaiming ETA would gain advantage on the polls. The spanish press -mostly supporting pp- agreed to blame ETA for years after the attacks ( as El Mundo) https://ignaciotrillo.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/abc-11m.jpg In spain, again the PP, on the gov.now again, blames as terrorists ( http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2013/03/25/madrid/1364204802.html ) the protesters of several reasons, as like the anti evictions, leftwing politicians or catalan independentists, while policia nacional have often began clashes on riots dressed and mixed with the protesters. instead of the evidences published on some minoritary spanish press, is not know the admission of those facts by the spanish gov. There are more, but im not expert on this field. But in spain has often happened. SP

Nazis at the Nuremberg trials were tortured in various ways for example being thrown naked out into the snow. Their families were threatened with death unless the defendants worked for the allies and confessed to things that they did not do. The Russian version of the films taken at the trial show some of the defendants lawyer complaining about the torture to get confessions. It is in Russian language. rickj2

But the Gulf of Tonkin incident WAS NOT A FALSE FLAG according to your definitions. The August 4th incident was most likely a mistake, as reported by the Destroyer Task Force commander after investigation, probably caused by overexcited sonar and radar operators. Read about it in the first chapter of Admiral Stockdales book IN LOVE AND WAR, as he was the Squadron commander IN THE AIR during both the 8/02 and 8/04 incidents. The Johnson admin. then lied about it saying that the 8/04 attack WAS REAL, but did not stage an attack or have a third party do it. So there was NO FALSE FLAG. It was just a lie. Steve

I lie that gives justification for entering a war qualifies as a false flag. David Fanelli

Look at this happening here so you wont notice what we are doing over here. Silvana M

Oh, MyI could swear that this (false flag terrorism) was invented by the Bushes (father and son)Looks like is a fashion modality among governantsand I hate people even more raysusan49

What about Israels attack of the USS LIBERTY. T.O. Guy

I think one needs to keep some perspective on this. Yes some of these Im sure are real False Flag incidents, but some are suggested, some are planned, and many are very localised (ie. probably not planned at high levels). The world is a messy place and there are lots of bad people, but I dont think you can conclude from this list that this has become some kind of new political ideology in the US or in the West thats driving policy. The very fact that you can find this information online and its not suppressed (as it would be in China for example) should tell you something. And by the way, can we stop with the 9/11 conspiracy theories already? Peace out tbenton62

Why is it you do not have one source to confirm your accusations. Sorry, until I see the sources that state this, I do not believe a word you have to say. pete

A plot within a plot etc. False flag can also be used to encourage disinformation. See the posts below. Wolfgang Smesny

What about the fake attack of the Rwandan Armed Forces against pretended Tutsi insurgents in Kigali in 1990. The nightly shoot-out was staged by the Army to crack down on Tutsi minority and opposition members, leading to the arrest of 12,000 people, which were held prisoners in the National Stadium over several months, without trial. And what about the downing of the Rwandan presidents airplane, which triggered the genocide on the Tutsi minority in 1994 (some 800,000 killed). French official sources still claim wrongly until today that the attack was carried out by the (Tutsi-led) Patriotic Front of Rwanda, whereas most analysts found that evidence is sufficient to impute the attack to extremist Hutu forces. These Hutu forces (Interahamwe, CDR and retired extremist army members) had prepared the genocide painstakingly over many years before the incident, under the eyes of the French Military Mission in Kigali! Magog

Not strictly a false flag, but definitely a conspiracy. The Carter/Brzezinski secret arming of the Afghan Mujajideen in June 1979, designed to induce a Soviet Invasion. Brzezinski admitted in 1998 that the plan was to give the Soviets their Vietnam. Asked if he regretted helping future terrorists, he responded What is most important for world history? The Taliban or the fall of the Soviet Empire? Some Islamic hotheads or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?

Anyone noticed that Islamic terrorism seem to serve US interests when the Democrats are in power?

(25) above is really thin. It could be true, but no-one accused has admitted involvement. Berezovsky finding some witnesses, a US think tank report, and Wikipedia dont cut it.
