False Flag Operations: Beyond the Spectre of Terrorism

This paper has been prepared to shed light on false flag operations, and in particular terrorisms that are carried out in the name of Islam (a religion of peace) and Zionism (a political movement). Terrorisms carried out by radical terrorists today, in the name of Islam are characterized by false flag operations. There are many evidences that prove that this is really true. The paper also analyses the 9/11 which had features of a false flag. There is no legal evidence to prove that Osama Ben Laden was the culprit of 9/11 in an international court of law, and thus relating him with it would just be a conspiracy theory and nothing more. The paper also raises the debate of conspiracy theories versus conspiracy facts.


Introduction
"A false flag operation is an act committed with the intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and pinning blame on a second party. The term is popular amongst conspiracy theory promoters in referring to covert operations of various governments and cabals. The term 'false flag' originated in the 16th century as a purely figurative expression to mean 'a deliberate misrepresentation of someone's affiliation or motives'. It was later used to describe a ruse in naval warfare whereby a vessel flew the flag of a neutral or enemy country in order to hide its true identity. The tactic was originally used by pirates and privateers to deceive other ships into allowing them to move closer before attacking them. It later was deemed an acceptable practice during naval warfare according to international maritime laws, provided the attacking vessel displayed its true flag once an attack had begun. The term today extends to include countries that organize attacks on themselves and make the attacks appear to be by enemy nations or terrorists, thus giving the nation that was supposedly attacked a pretext for domestic repression and foreign military aggression. Operations carried out during peacetime by civilian organizations, as well as covert government agencies, can (by extension) also be called false flag operations if they seek to hide the real organization behind an operation" (False Flag, 1961).
A few examples of documented false flag operations in history are as follows: In 1933, the Reichstag Fire event took place when Germany's parliament known as The Reichtag was set on fire by the Nazis as ordered by Adolf Hitler.
The blame was then put on the Communists. This allowed the Reichtag Fire Decree to be established that allowed Hitler to hijack all liberties through his totalitarian regime.
In 1939, the Gleiwitz incident involved Reinhard Heydrich who fabricated evidence of a Polish attack against Germany in order to justify war with Poland.
Nazi camp victims dressed as German soldiers were shot by the Gestapo and this appeared that they had been shot by Polish soldiers.
In 1946, the King David Massacre took place when Jewish terrorists blew up a hotel killing 91 British soldiers and laid the blame on the Arabs. When later caught, they said that the British had a list of their Arab spies to be handed over to the Palestinians. The aim was to ignite hatred between the British and Palestinians.
In 1953, there was an Iranian coup d'état that was the result of U.S and British-orchestrated false flag operation, Operation Ajax. This operation used propaganda to depose the democratically elected leader of Iran, Mohammed Mosaddeq.
In 1954, bombs in Egypt were planted in several buildings including a U.S diplomatic facility by agents of an Israeli terrorist cell. This was known as the Lavon affair and they placed incriminating "evidence" for Arabs as the culprits.
Their plan was to discredit Egypt's government. But, one of the bombs detonated prematurely and one of the bombers was successfully captured.
In 1962, Operation Northwoods was planned by U.S Department of Defence but it was never executed. This operation involved dreadful acts of terror and violence. These actions would later be blamed on Cuba and would be a pretext for a U.S military intervention.

Conspiracy Theories v/s Conspiracy Facts-World Trade
Center 9/11 In the 21st century, a number of conspiracy theories and conspiracy facts have been put forward by conspiracy theorists, analysts, journalists, investigators and Even if conspiracy theories on 9/11 terrorist attack are not admissible to a certain extent due to their infuriating nature, they have not been entirely refuted by U.S authorities. In fact, such theories have undeniably given rise to many speculations and rumours which pinpoint this terrible attack on humanity as a false flag operation. For instance, Eckehardt Werthebach, the former president of Germany's domestic intelligence service, Verfassungsschutz, in the American Free Press argued "that 9/11 could not have been executed without the support of a state secret service…and that 'the deathly precision' and 'the magnitude of planning' behind the attacks would have needed 'years of planning' [and] such a sophisticated operation, would require the 'fixed frame' of a state intelligence organization, something not found in a 'loose group' of terrorists like the one allegedly led by Mohammed Atta while he studied in Hamburg" (Bollyn, 2001).
Unlike conspiracy theories on 9/11, related conspiracy facts are logical. For example, Elias Davidson (an independent researcher in the fields of human rights and international law) in his article "The Events of 11 September 2001 and the Right to the Truth" has shed light on 9/11 (Davidson, 2001) through his legitimate declarations (that could be considered in an international Court in case of a high-profile trial) such as the following: "…the U.S authorities have failed to prove that the 19 individuals accused of the mass murder of 9/11 had boarded the aircraft, which they allegedly used to commit the crime. No authenticated, original, passenger lists, bearing their names, have been released; no one is known to have seen them board the aircraft; no video recordings documented their boarding; no boarding pass stub exists to document their boarding; and their bodily remains have not been positively identified… The whole official approach to 9/11, including its investigation, has been characterized by secrecy… In the case of 9/11, it was not facially evident who instigated, planned, directed and financed the crime… The 9/11 Commission did not shed any light on the possible motives of the suspects, whoever they might have been… The criminal investigation of 9/11 did not result in the prosecution of anyone who had instigated, planned, directed, facilitated or executed the crime of 9/11… The only person the U.S government attempted to link with the events of 9/11 was Zacarias Moussaoui, a mentally disturbed person who was arrested before 9/11… Although two alleged al Qaeda leaders, Khaled Sheikh Mohammed and Ramzi Binalshibh, officially accused of having masterminded the events of 9/11, have been in U.S custody for more than 4 years, they have neither been charged nor presented before a judge…".
According to Steven E. Jones (a physicist and professor who retired from Brigham Young University) pre-positioned explosives and not fires from jet fuel provoked the rapid and symmetrical collapse of the World trade Center buildings and a third building, WTC-7. In the seminal article "Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe Advances in Applied Sociology (2009)", he and other experts elaborated that dust from the collapsing towers contained a "nano-thermite" material that is extremely explosive. Such an evidence is highly alarming (Jones et al., 2009). Should we tend to believe that the 9/11 destruction and collapse of the WTC towers was part of the US government conspiracy and false flag operation to wage war against Afghanistan?
As to whether Osama Ben Laden is responsible for 9/11 or not, is indeed a dilemmatic question. Since his culpability has not been proved in an International Court before a Judge, merely associating him with 9/11 without any legal evidence would just be a slander culminating into a conspiracy theory. On the contrary, there is strong belief regarding the deliberate attempt to incriminate him in this terrorist attack. According to National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States (2004), "Four of the hijackers passports have survived in whole or in part. Two were recovered from the crash site of United Airlines flight 93 in Pennsylvania. These are the passports of Ziad Jarrah and Saeed al Ghamdi. One belonged to a hijacker on American Airlines flight 11. This is the passport of Satam al Suqami. A passerby picked it up and gave it to a NYPD detective shortly before the World Trade Center towers collapsed. A fourth passport was recovered from luggage that did not make it from a Portland flight to Boston on to the connecting flight which was American Airlines flight 11. This is the passport of Abdul Aziz al Omari" (Piper, 2013). How could the passports have survived the terrible crashes and ultimately landed into the debris miraculously, despite the fact that the black boxes have not been found?
In addition to this, the attendance of Georges Bush Sr. and Osama Ben Laden's Brother [Shafiq Ben Laden] in a meeting at The Ritz Carlton Hotel in NYC one day before 9/11 [that is on September 10 2001] (Truthpeep, 2017) has called into question all the terrorist allegations of 9/11 against Osama Ben Laden and al Qaeda. On top of that, this irony has left many Americans dumbfounded and nobody has dared to comment on it critically! Perhaps this clamour just before 9/11, is one of the most disturbing and untold truths of humanity. Martin Dempsey confirmed that ISIS was yet another CIA-supported front funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar to institute the war in Syria" (Browne, 2021).

Radical Terrorists
As to whether this statement is true or not, for sure the barbarous act of beheading of innocent people by this terrorist group is like the sword of Damocles hanging over the whole humanity.
As far as terrorisms carried out in the name of Zionism (which is a nationalist

Role of Hucksters
On the one hand, it is with great incomprehension that we find cases where some Jews have embraced Islam and some of them have even joined al Qaeda, and now they purport to be more fundamentalist, fanatic, anti-Semitic and extremist than the radical terrorists themselves. One such shocking example is that  (Dart, 2013) for planning a terrorist attack in the UK (Davis, 2013). Salahuddin al Britani pleaded guilty of terrorism charges and was sentenced to jail for six years by Justice Simon who said that he and his co-conspirators (Jahangir Alom and Imran Mahmood) were committed fundamentalists (Davis, 2013).
On the other hand, it is with great surprise that we also encounter Zionist agencies which are recruiting Arabs and Muslims. Recently, it has been reported in "Mumbai Attacks Expose Mossad-CIA Plan to disrupt, Balkanize and Enslave India and Pakistan!" (Markam et al. 2009), that there is solid evidence concerning the recruitment of "Shia Muslims" and the financial support for "Muslim Extremists" by the Mossad (National Intelligence Agency of Israel). In the 1950s, Advances in Applied Sociology the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency-ISA) recruited a secret unit of young Jews and trained them to behave as Arabs, and they were given fake identities as stated in Piper (2013)

Conclusion
False flag terrorisms have been used to wage war by one nation against another and more categorically as subterfuge for military intervention, infiltration, political motives and conquest of power. We should avoid being islamophobic or anti-Semitic, if we want to understand the true mechanism behind false flag terrorisms involving violence, mass murder, bloodbaths and crimes at the global level.
In addition to that, false flag terrorisms carried out in the name of Islam and Zionism are two sides of the same evil coin, and they are not opposed diametrically and radically to one another. We also find that many so-called terrorist acts to some degrees do have features of false flag even if they are dismissed as elements related to conspiracy theories. For instance, the Charlie Hebdo attack where the ID card of Said Kouachi was found in the getaway car, bizarrely bears a strong resemblance with the 9/11 where undamaged passports of Satam al Sukami, Ziad Jarrah, Abdul Aziz al Omari and Saeed al-Ghamdi were found. Such scenarios of false flag do reveal the truth, although certain controversial inquiries with respect to "planted evidence" remain unexplained.
To sum up, it could be said that the masterminds who orchestrate and plot international terrorisms of false flag nature are the real enemies of humanity. An international counter-terrorism strategy is essential in order to expose, arrest and prosecute such dangerous freaks.
