Revelations about a shadowy right-wing group called Ergenekon participating with Turkish military and intelligence elements in “false flag” terrorist attacks in order to bring down the Turkish government are nothing new and are, in fact, a normal tactic used by intelligence services. However, the term “false flag” has been irresponsibly relegated to the arena of “conspiracy theories” by a corporate media answering to their own hidden agendas.
In 1996, then-South African Deputy President Thabo Mbeki told the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission that the apartheid government carried out “false flag” terrorist attacks that were then attributed to the African National Congress (ANC), which had a policy of not targeting civilians in its battle with the apartheid regime. The horrible execution method of “necklacing,” putting a burning tire over the necks of victims that would burn them to death, was carried out by apartheid agents provocateurs to damage the reputation of the ANC, Mbeki told the commission.
Some of the gruesome videotaped beheadings carried out on Westerners in Iraq may also have been carried out by agents provocateurs on the payroll of U.S. and other intelligence services to generate sympathy for the U.S.-led occupation of the country and pin blame on the Iraqi insurgents.
Many observers point out that Mehmet Ali Agca, the Turkish national who tried to assassinate Pope John Paul II in 1981, may have been unwittingly used by Western intelligence in order to foment a Polish insurrection against the Soviet Union. Agca thought at various times he was working for the Soviets, Bulgaria, or Iran through the CIA. Turkish Interior Minister Hussan Gunes, who investigated Agca, said he thought Agca was involved in an attempt to provoke an uprising in Poland and cut it off from the Warsaw Pact.
The most infamous and documented U.S. false flag operation was the proposed Operation Northwoods, a plan hatched by the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Kennedy administration in 1962 that included terrorist attacks against ships and passenger planes, claiming Cuba was behind them and providing a pretext for a U.S. invasion of Cuba.
In 1967, Israel attacked the National Security Agency intelligence ship, the U.S.S. Liberty, hoping the Americans would believe Egypt carried out the attack, prompting a U.S. military strike on Egypt, with which Israel was fighting the Six Day War. The Israeli operation was reportedly code-named Operation Cyanide.
More recently, Ikram Yabukov, a former Uzbek National Security Service (SNB) major, said the government of President Islam Karimov carrid out a number of false flag terrorist attacks and then blamed them on Islamist extremists to win support at home and abroad. Former British ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray validated Yabukov’s claims. Uzbekistan was an early U.S. coalition partner in the so-called “Global War on Terrorism” following the 9/11 attacks.
Yakobov also claimed that many Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) leaders, designated terrorists by the U.S. State Department, were nurtured by the Uzbek government, which supported their bombings in Tashkent and the 2005 Andijon uprising, which killed more than 1,500 people. In another false flag, Yakubov said the SNB engineered a 2004 passenger plane crash in Tashkent that killed senior UN official in Uzbekistan Richard Conroy. Conroy apparently had information linking Karimov to trafficking of drugs and women forced abroad into prostitution.
Last month, three German BND intelligence agents were arrested by Kosovo authorities after they were accused of throwing a bomb at the European Union office in Pristina, the Kosovo capital. The previously unheard of Army of the Republic of Kosovo claimed responsibility for the attack. The BND believes that their agents were fingered by corrupt Kosovo politicians who were the actual perpetrators of the attack on the EU building. The Germans are aware that the Kosovo government, which is riddled with criminals of every strike, takes its orders from the United States.
What is certain is that “false flag” operations run throughout history. There is new evidence that Ergenekon key players are supported by certain elements in Utah. Ironically, one of the most dastardly uses of the false flag attack was by Mormon settlers in Utah who preyed upon California-bound wagon trains. One such attack, the Mountain Meadows Massacre of 1857, saw 120 California-bound men, women, and children massacred by Mormon militiamen who left Indian artifacts at the crime scene to make authorities believe the wagon train had been beset upon by Indians.

Cmon Madsen, everybody knows that false flag doesn’t exist, anyone who thinks they do must be Al Qaeda. The false flag is an invention of conspiracy theorists, but in real life nobody would carry out attacks and blame it on someone else, would they?

I believe Japan bombed their own railroad and blamed China in order to invade china at the beginning of WW2. Japan needed raw resorces and the empiire Wasn’t willing or wanting war for that reason..
This distraction going on with O Bama’s old job is distracting the country from something more emportent. He has to get sawrn into office, no matter what the cost. While the Governer in on the front paqe of the paper, It’s what is burried in a small artical in the back of the paper that is the real story.
Want something to laugh at?

This is my favorite line from Mr. Madsen’s article: “Uzbekistan was an early U.S. coalition partner in the so-called “Global War on Terrorism” following the 9/11 attacks.”
Ahhhhh….what?
9-11 will go down as the costliest, most effective, most killed, most murdered, most conspired, largest collusions, and most productively orchestrated “false flag” in human history….even though great researchers like himself still call 9-11 and “attack”. Mr. Madsen has done everything to accuse this administration of being absolutely batshit crazy….though like many….he never goes to the next level and says what 9-11 really was. Take a chance Wayne……..

Other than the fact the Utah Mormon Church is a crypto-masonic organization and Utah Senators Orin Hatch, Bob Bennett, and Congressman Chris Cannon consistently vote to hand America over to globalists through monopolistic “free trade” agreements, and pander to illegal aliens, why would “certain elements in Utah” work to over throw the Turkish government?
December 12th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
False flag attacks have been used by every government since the days of Rome when Nero set fire to that city and blamed it on the Christians.
Our government has a long history of using false flag attacks as a pretext for going to war with other nations.
9/11 is but the tip of the rotting pile of bones.
Someday, it too will be eclipsed by some new and more heinous act.
December 12th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Who cares? I’m a Global Citizen and the idea of “countries” is so middle America and outdated. Grow up people. It’s time for the whole planet to unite and feel the love. John Lennon’s “Imagine” is going to be made compulsory listening in all Elementary schools next year. It’s awesome!

It’s very easy now for the spooks to target disaffected or vulnerable misfits and steer them towards these type of attacks. Israel is a past master at using a person’s weaknesses, be they drugs, sexual, gambling or whatever, to control them. Monica Lewinsky is Jewish of course.
In the case of large operations like 911, I suspect they use real fledgling attacks with no hope of success, carefully supporting these attacks and then removing any impediments to their success. Those carrying them out on the day probably think they’ve been incredibly lucky with obstructions appearing to fall away before their eyes. In this way Israel can claim to have warned America about 911, which has a germ of truth about it. Much safer this way then using their own people, who may be caught. Mumbai appears to have been done in this way, using their links to ISI.
The Zionists have been at this for a long time. They’re very good at it now.

News anchors are just as guilty as the Utah gangsters who slaughtered their own countrymen for a few dollars more – in 1857. Nine eleven was an inside job. News anchors that pretend they can’t figure that out are cover-up-artists.
They should swing on the same scaffold as the Bush Gang and their bankers. Let Charlie Gibberish and Katie Cuckoo know their days are numbered.

Wow, if you are going to say stuff like this, you need documents, videos, or anything other than ‘they said’
…and ‘witnesses say’
You just have to do better than that and be prepared to argue your theories with someone that isn’t just another NPR listener.
This is important if you guys want to be taken seriously.
Just as corporatism isn’t necessarily capitalism: http://mediacondom.com/?p=172

I entered a comment and it was not posted, it told the Truth of the events that will come to pass. it is sad that they will post comments that use foul talk and no knowledge or understanding to help the people escape the destruction that is soon to come upon the people. joedr@theriver.com

December 13th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
If news journalists were terrorized with death and destruction, then they just might start talking. But as long as they can sit in their protected enviroment, these scumbags will continue to spread disinformation. Fear is a powerful emotion. The nwo knows this, and uses it to their advantage.

If were going to have any chance to save this country we need to spark a grass roots movement and begin turning people to our side.
The country is in turmoil and I believe more people will be receptive to a pro-freedom message. I know we just elected a communist but according to a recent poll 36% of Obama voters thought Sara Palin was Obama’s running mate. In other words they are fools.
So lets take advantage of the turmoil and use it for our benefit!
JPFO has a free video called “2A today for the USA”

What if we blanket the internet with this video for a start?
You guys are geniuses so finding a way to make this work shouldn’t be a problem, so spread the word!

False flag attacks is such an important issue. Most young folks dont want to believe the Government would do such a thing. But when you can go back through history and show them what was considered and done before, it tends to open thier eyes. And if Government considered and did this before why would they stop now. Like I said this is a very important issue to opening peoples eyes.

Madsen typically mask the overwhelming Israeli component of Flase Flag terror in the world today by this historical equivalent of “everybody does it”.

“Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.” he told a fundraising crowd in the Pacific Northwest on Sunday. “Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

The modern “Protocols of Zion”
How the mass media now promotes the same lies that caused the death of more than 5 million Jews in WWII
Historical and Investigative Research
25 Aug 2005, by Francisco Gil-White
Genocides don’t just happen. The killers must think they kill in self defense. Which is to say that the victims of an extermination must first be perceived as a mortal danger. For this, a propaganda campaign will be necessary. The propaganda that got between 5 and 6 million Jews exterminated in WWII went by the name Protocols of The Learned Elders of Zion. This series documents that this propaganda is once again being energetically spread by the Western mass media, just as it was in the prelude to WWII.
The next Catastrophe looms… Short Preface
How likely is a great anti-Jewish slaughter in the twenty-first century?
To answer this question is to make a forecast. Any kind of forecast requires the person making the prediction to evaluate patterns in the past in order to guess about the future. Thus, in order to get a feel for the likelihood of an anti-Jewish slaughter in the twenty-first century we examine the past to see whether such an event would be surprising, or else normal. As it turns out, it would be perfectly normal. For 2000 years in the Western world it has been more common than not for a century to contain at least one great anti-Jewish bloodletting. Unless otherwise specified, the items in the following list — which is not complete, but which will suffice to make my point — are culled from James Carroll’s history of Western antisemitism, entitled Constantine’s Sword:
1st century – Genocide of the Jews by the Romans (‘First Jewish War’) 2nd century – Genocide of the Jews by the Romans (‘Diaspora Revolt’ and ‘Second Jewish War’) 4th century – Following Emperor Constantine’s Council of Nicaea (325), all sorts of imperial measures against the Jews, special taxes, prohibition on new synagogues, and prohibition of Christian-Jewish marriages.[00]
Church father Ambrose encourages burning of synagogues so as to abolish Judaism. 5th century – Atacks against Jewish communities during Holy Week, including the burning of synagogues.[00] A great massacre of Jews in Alexandria.
[There is a relative pause in anti-Jewish attacks, and relative tolerance toward Jews, due to the collapse of the political structure of the Roman Empire. Once the German aristocracies that conquered Europe converted to Catholicism, and the empire was reconstituted as the Germanic Holy Roman Empire of the Middle Ages, the attacks are renewed.]
11th century – Crusaders massacre Jewish communities in the Rhineland. 12th century – Crusaders massacre Jews in Europe; persecution in Spain. 13th century – Forced conversions of Jews all over Europe. 14th century – Black Plague is blamed on Jews. Perhaps three hundred Jewish communities are wiped out. Jews in the Rhineland are exterminated. Jews in Seville are massacred, followed by widespread pogroms in Iberia.
15th century – Spanish inquisition. Many Jews are killed. More than 150,000 are expelled from Spain. 16th century – Inquisition becomes pan-European phenomenon. 17th century – Inquisition continues. 19th century – In 1827 the Russian Tsar began a process of slow-genocide against the Eastern Jews, by forced conscription into the Russian army for Jewish boys, starting at the age of eight. Somewhat later the rate of conscription for some populations of Jews was raised to 5 times higher than what was applied to any other population, and matching the rate of groups selected for special punishment. The terms of service in the Russian army were 25 years.[0] 19th century – Widespread pogroms against the Eastern Jews in the Russian Empire.[1] 20th century – Widespread pogroms against the Eastern Jews in the Russian Empire, and then a genocide by the German Nazis all over Europe.
The twentieth century massacres, still fresh, were especially bloody. One often hears the slogan “Never Again,” meaning never again a Holocaust such as was carried out by the German Nazis. The slogan is invoked almost as a magical incantation, as if its recitation had the power to prevent the next antisemitic mass atrocity. It does not. If practically every century there have been great massacres of Jews in the Western world, then the least risky prediction that a historian can make for the twenty-first century is that there will be another — without even looking at the evidence for current trends. The burden of proof is therefore on those who believe this cannot happen again: they will have to document why the world is now different.
This is a burden they cannot meet.
The hostile propaganda that got hundreds of thousands of Jews persecuted and/or killed in Tsarist Russia, and then between 5 and 6 million Jews exterminated in WWII, is once again being energetically spread by the Western mass media. The result will be the same: a great massacre of Jews. This piece will document what the mass media does and how it prepares the ground for the next genocide, which is right around the corner. Unless this is quickly understood by the millions of people who will either kill, abet, or silently watch, the great Jewish Catastrophe of our times will soon overtake us…
