Reasons to suggest the Paris shooting is a false flag event as well as duly noted anomalies in the official story so far include:
1. The possibility that this is a continuation or adaptation of “Operation Gladio” where shortly after WWII “stay behind” NATO and CIA sponsored right-wing terrorist organisations through Western Europe conducted terrorist attacks on the public, which were subsequently blamed on left-wing-communists.
The purpose of such attacks were to demonize the new enemy (communists); instil fear in the general population who would then turn to the government authorities for protection; who would in turn use these attacks to justify the expansion of government powers and impose repressive and unconstitutional police state policies and abuses of power that erode personal freedoms and civil liberties.
As the governments of European countries shortly after WWII needed to distract the public away from the widespread devastation caused by the war and the catalogue of privations the public was forced to endure; privations the power elite did not have to endure, so too today the government of France desperately needs to find a distraction away from the brutal EU-IMF austerity programmes imposed on an economically battered and discontent population.
Austerity has killed far more people than phony Islamic terrorists in recent times. During the 1990s 1 millions deaths in Eastern Europe could have been attributed to government austerity measures.
Furthermore, as far as France’s relationship with Muslim minorities goes, the French public’s view of Muslims in general in overwhelmingly positive with 72% of those polled by Pew research saying that they had a generally good impression of Muslim people; the highest of the European countries polled.
The point is that the European power elite have caused far more grief to European peoples than any putative Islamic fundamentalist group; therefore, it should be clear where the real threat comes from. In the 20th century alone (1900-1987) governments killed 262 million of their own citizens, a concept known as ‘democide’.
One might also mention that the French government is a known state sponsor of terrorism. Not only has it provided covert support for Al Qaeda affiliated groups in the Middle East and Africa; it also carried out a terrorist attack in Auckland, New Zealand in 1985 when the French Secret Service (DGSE) detonated a bomb on the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior killing Portuguese-Dutch photographer, Fernando Pereira. Incidentally this occurred under a socialist government at the time which Francois Hollande was part of including as special advisor to then President Francois Mitterand who reportedly ordered the attack.
2. One of the anomalies is the lack of any blood in the footage of the gunman who shoots the police officer. The gunman supposedly shoots him with an AK47 that fires 7.62 calibre bullets and one would expect the see the head blown off; however, upon close examination it is apparent that the bullet is fired into the pavement as evidence by ricochet off the concrete footpath away from the policeman’s head who was not bleeding from any body shots he is supposed to have sustained.
What is also observable in the footage is the professional, clinical and efficient SWAT team manner in which the gunmen conduct themselves, which is at odds with the usual modus operandi of Islamic terrorists who often go out in a blaze of martyred glory.
3. Another anomaly is CNN’s report that police found a gunman’s ID at the scene of the crime. This is almost as absurd a claim as the FBI finding the 9/11 hijackers’ passports and visas at ground zero on the day of the incident.
Of course plausible deniability lies in the very real grievances some Muslim groups might claim with European powers including France such as France’s active participation in the destruction of Libya; the brutal repression in colonial Algeria; and the carving up of the Middle-East after WWI through the secret Sykes-Picot agreement.
Clearly nothing justifies the senseless killings of journalists, whoever may have done it, which I suspect will never be actually proven, especially now given that the chief suspects have been killed and of course “dead men tell no tales”.
One of the dead, Said Kouachi, is reported by to have met with a CIA asset in 2011 and lived and trained with the 2009 “underwear bomber” Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab; a confirmed CIA operative.
As recently pointed out, in an interview with former undercover FBI agent Amad Salem, who exposed the FBI as the real enablers of the 1993 WTC terrorist attack, government should be the first suspect in the event of terrorist attacks.
4. One final point to consider is whether or not the the Paris shooting can be understood in the context of Hollande’s recent call to end the NATO led sanctions regime against Russia saying that President Vladimir Putin has no desire nor plans to annex Eastern Ukraine.
Recall when in June 2011 Norway announced they were going to withdraw from the NATO offensive against Libya, a terrorist attack committed by Anders Behring Breivik followed a few weeks later in which 69 people, mostly teenages were shot dead by Breivik on the island of Utoya. This was an attack directed against the Norwegian political elite as the victims were the children of the Norwegian ruling Labour Party government.
Are the Paris shootings simply a case of ‘blowback’ for past and present French imperial perfidy or a continuation and expansion of Operation Gladio; a NATO plot to put pressure on France to maintain its part in the punitive sanctions regime against Russia?
