The History of American False Flag operations and Syria Updated 08/28

History is littered with examples of false flag operations by governments in order to gain legitimacy with their public for wars of aggression or political control.

Some examples :-

"Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine 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

Nero burned Rome (or let Rome burn) and then blamed the Christians.
Nero wanted to level large areas of Rome so that he could rebuild it to his design.

The Reichstag fire was carried out by Hitler and blamed on the communists in order to bring in draconian laws and an authoritarian Police State.

The American government  has used false flag operations on numerous occasions :-

The explosion of munitions on board the USS Maine which was blamed on the Spanish in order to start the American-Spanish war of 1898. 

The sinking of the Lusitania to get the American public on board with entering the First World War. 

America publicized to the Germans that the Lusitania would be carrying munitions. 

The Germans advised the American public not to travel on the Lusitania because of the risk of attack. 

The Lusitania then sailed into waters know to be controlled by German submarines and was sunk. 

Pearl Harbor

Japan was provoked into the attack by a blockade of vital supplies - principally oil but other natural resources as well. 

America had broken Japanese codes and knew the attack was coming. 

Roosevelt sent the carriers out to sea well away from danger and the route from Japan to Pearl Harbor.

Roosevelt deliberately left Pearl Harbor and the route to Pearl Harbor defenceless in order to ensure the Japanese attack succeeded. 

The CIA coup in Iran in 1953 to depose the lawful PM.
 “Operation Ajax” that overthrew Iran’s democracy and installed a US-friendly and brutal dictator. When that dictator was overthrown (the Shah of Iran) and Iran refused another, the US aided Iraq to unlawfully invade and attack Iran from 1980-1988; killing up to a million Iranians.

Operation Northwoods

The CIA plan to down a civilian airliner to cause the deaths of Americans and then to blame it on Cuba. 

(There were a couple of other options to cause American deaths.) 

JFK put a stop to the plan which was one of the reasons the CIA resented him. 

Gulf of Tonkin 

The attack by the Vietnamese on an American warship, which was a complete fabrication to get America into the Vietnam War.

Operation Gladio
The CIA sponsored operations to kill Italian civilians and blame it on the Communists.

The Iraq War

General Wesley Clark (Presidential candidate in 2004) tells of how Middle East destabilization was being planned in 1991 and regime change in Syria was included

And now we have the presumed release of chemical agents in Syria. 

Nobody knows who was behind it. 

It is extremely unlikely that Assad had anything to do with it - it has been well advertised that America has threatened military action if chemical weapons were used by Assad. 

The Islamic Extremist insurgents do have a motive for using chemical weapons in order to get America involved in the war and to arm them better. 

The Islamic Extremist insurgents have already been identified as using chemical weapons on a very small scale earlier in the conflict. 

America has already discussed using chemical weapons in Syria as a false flag attack in January this year.

Was the Syrian chemical weapons incident another false flag operation by America or the insurgents or America's allies Saudi Arabia or Qatar or Israel? 

Israel is also noted for carrying out false flag attacks in the past.

An open letter to my former NSA colleagues - why are you not speaking out?

Another thing they used to say at those briefings was that the might of the NSA would never be used against U.S. citizens. Back when I signed up, the agency made it crystal clear to us that we were empowered to protect our nation against only foreign enemies, not domestic ones. To do otherwise was against the NSA charter. More importantly, I got the strong sense that it was against the culture of the place. After working there for two summers, I genuinely believed that my colleagues would be horrified if they thought our work was being used to snoop on fellow Americans. Has that changed, too?

The mathematicians and cryptanalysts I met were from all over the country and had very different backgrounds, but we all seemed to be drawn to the agency for the same two reasons. First, we all knew that the math was sexy. This might sound bizarre to a non-mathematician, but certain mathematical problems just exude a certain something—a feeling of importance, of gravity, along with a sense that the solution is not far outside of your grasp. It's big, and it can be yours if you just think a little bit harder. When I signed up, I knew that the NSA was doing interesting math, but I had no idea what I was in for. Within a week of arriving at the NSA, I was presented with an amazing smorgasbord of the most alluring mathematics problems I had ever seen, any of which could possibly yield to a smart undergraduate. I hadn't seen anything like it—and I never will again.

The other thing that drew us—or so I thought—was an idealistic vision that we were doing something to help our country. I knew enough about history to have shed the notion that it was ungentlemanly to read your enemy's mail. And once I was on the inside, I saw plenty of ways that the agency was having an effect on national security. Even as a rookie, I felt I had a chance to make a difference in some small way. Some of the veteran mathematicians whom we met had clearly had a palpable effect on the security of the United States, legends almost completely unknown outside of our own club.

This isn't to say that the idealism was naive. Anyone who's spent any time on the other side of the intelligence game knows how high the stakes can be. We all understand that real human beings can die because of a seemingly minor breach of secrets we've been entrusted with. We also realize that intelligence gathering sometimes means using underhanded tactics to try to protect the nation. But we all knew that those tactics were constrained by law, even if that law isn't always black and white. The agency insisted, over and over, that the weapons we were building—and weapons they are, even if they're weapons of information—would never be turned on our own people, but would only be used upon our enemies.

What do we do now that we have to face the fact that the Agency broke its word?

Re: those supposedly “crazy” conspiracy theorists, guess what?

. . . official accounts no longer represent the views of the majority.

Yep. I just had to post this piece from about a month ago after reading Greg Palast’s new Larry Summers “End Game” investigation. 

And guess what again! If you don’t like being called a “conspiracy theorist,” that’s because one of the cabal government’s psyops worked, and all too well:

The term "conspiracy theorist" was invented and put into wide circulation by the CIA to smear and defame people questioning the JFK assassination!

New studies: ‘Conspiracy theorists’ sane; government dupes crazy, hostile

Recent studies by psychologists and social scientists in the US and UK suggest that contrary to mainstream media stereotypes, those labeled “conspiracy theorists” appear to be saner than those who accept the official versions of contested events.

The most recent study was published on July 8th by psychologists Michael J. Wood and Karen M. Douglas of the University of Kent (UK). Entitled “What about Building 7? A social psychological study of online discussion of 9/11 conspiracy theories,” the study compared “conspiracist” (pro-conspiracy theory) and “conventionalist” (anti-conspiracy) comments at news websites.

The authors were surprised to discover that it is now more conventional to leave so-called conspiracist comments than conventionalist ones: “Of the 2174 comments collected, 1459 were coded as conspiracist and 715 as conventionalist.” In other words, among people who comment on news articles, those who disbelieve government accounts of such events as 9/11 and the JFK assassination outnumber believers by more than two to one. That means it is the pro-conspiracy commenters who are expressing what is now the conventional wisdom, while the anti-conspiracy commenters are becoming a small, beleaguered minority.

Perhaps because their supposedly mainstream views no longer represent the majority, the anti-conspiracy commenters often displayed anger and hostility: “The research… showed that people who favoured the official account of 9/11 were generally more hostile when trying to persuade their rivals.”

Additionally, it turned out that the anti-conspiracy people were not only hostile, but fanatically attached to their own conspiracy theories as well. According to them, their own theory of 9/11 – a conspiracy theory holding that 19 Arabs, none of whom could fly planes with any proficiency, pulled off the crime of the century under the direction of a guy on dialysis in a cave in Afghanistan – was indisputably true. The so-called conspiracists, on the other hand, did not pretend to have a theory that completely explained the events of 9/11: “For people who think 9/11 was a government conspiracy, the focus is not on promoting a specific rival theory, but in trying to debunk the official account.”

Mannings biggest revelation of all - the lengths to which the government will go to, to try and cover up the truth

As much hay as the government has made about the supposed damage done to the United States by Pfc. Chelsea Manning’s massive leak of classified documents to WikiLeaks three years ago, you might think that those revelations were the biggest breach of U.S. national security in American history.

Leavenworth Penitentiary

Manning’s sentence of 35 years surpasses by far any punishment that anyone has ever received for similar offenses. By comparison, former Navy intelligence officer Samuel Morrison was sentenced to two years for giving classified satellite photographs toJane’s Defense Weekly in 1985.

The 35 years that Manning got was so far removed from what could be considered reasonable that even the New York Times – which has maintained a relatively neutral stance over the case for the past three years – was compelled to call it “far too long a sentence by any standard” in an editorial Wednesday.

Indeed, 35 years is a harsh sentence in the extreme, one that should be reserved only for the most heinous crimes – for example, violence against children, rape, murder and torture.

Ironically, it was precisely those sorts of crimes that Manning exposed three years ago that got her in so much trouble in the first place.

After being rebuffed by her commanding officer and rejected by traditional news outlets like the New York Times, the young Army intelligence analyst provided three important bodies of documents to WikiLeaks.

The Iraq war logs consisted of 391,000 field reports, including the notorious “Collateral Murder” video of U.S. soldiers gunning down a crowd of Iraqi civilians, injuring two small children and killing two Reuters journalists in July 2007. These logs also included documentation of the Haditha massacre in which 24 Iraqi civilians, most of them women, children and the elderly, were systematically murdered by U.S. Marines (a crime for which the perpetrators were never punished).

Following that release, there were 90,000 Afghan war logs, revealing how coalition forces had killed hundreds of civilians in unreported incidents in Afghanistan and how a secret “black” unit of special forces had hunted down suspected Taliban leaders for “kill or capture” without trial.

And, finally, Manning’s document release included 260,000 diplomatic cables, which arguably had the most impact globally, providing for example the spark for the Arab Spring.

Indeed, it could be argued that the biggest journalistic stories of the past half-decade can be attributed to the courage that Pfc. Manning showed by providing these documents to WikiLeaks back in 2010. But, in a sense, none of these are the biggest revelations that Pfc. Manning brought to light.

Sadly, the biggest story is the lengths that the U.S. government will go to in its attempts to silence and punish whistleblowers, and the shameful silence of the American public at large when these abuses are carried out in plain sight.

Unemployment rose in most States in July

WASHINGTON (AP) - Unemployment rates rose in more than half of U.S. states in July and fewer states added jobs, echoing national data that show the job market may have lost some momentum.

The Labor Department said Monday that unemployment rates increased in 28 states. They were unchanged in 14 and fell in eight states - the fewest to show a decline since January.

Hiring increased in 32 states in July compared with June, the fewest to report job gains in three months. Seventeen states reported job losses. California, Georgia and Florida reported the largest job gains, while New Jersey and Nevada lost the most.

Nationwide, hiring has been steady this year but slowed in July. Employers added 162,000 jobs, the fewest since March. The unemployment rate fell to 7.4 percent, a 4 1/2 -year low, from 7.6 percent.

And while the job market has improved over the past 12 months, the gains appear to be benefiting southern and western states most of all.

Unemployment in the West fell to 7.9 percent in July. That's down from 9.3 percent a year earlier and the biggest decline of the four regions. In the South, unemployment fell to 7.3 percent, from 7.8 percent a year ago.

Unemployment has barely dipped in the Midwest, to 7.3 percent from 7.5 percent in the past year. In the Northeast, it dropped to 7.6 percent from 8.4 percent.

Steve Cochrane, an economist at Moody's Analytics, says southern and western states have seen steady growth in manufacturing jobs. And the South is also benefiting from lower taxes and cheaper labor.

"Some of the old, long-standing comparative advantages are re-emerging as drivers of growth," he added.

California has propelled much of the gains in the West, adding 38,100 jobs in July to lead all states. And California has added 236,000 jobs in the past year, second only to Texas's 293,000 jobs.

Unemployment in California has fallen to 8.7 percent in July from 10.6 percent 12 months ago - the biggest year-over-year drop of any state.

Another bright spot is Utah, which has gained the largest percentage of jobs in the past 12 months. Utah's gains were in information technology, manufacturing and construction.

In the South, Texas, Florida and Georgia have been driving job growth. Georgia added 30,900 jobs in July, the second most of any state. Much of the gains were in categories that include transportation, utilities, retail, hotels, restaurants and amusement parks.

Nevada reported the nation's highest unemployment rate in July, at 9.5 percent. It was followed by Illinois, 9.2 percent. North Dakota continues to have the nation's lowest unemployment at 3 percent. South Dakota is close behind at 3.9 percent. 

http://apnews.excite.com/article/20130819/DA8941PG2.html

The employment situation has not improved over the last 12 months - almost all of the jobs that have been added are low paid part time jobs. See this

Real unemployment has risen over the last 12 months - there are a lot more discouraged workers that have given up looking for work because there just aren't well paid jobs out there. 

Official unemployment has risen for the under 25 age category and we have now have around 3.5 million recent college leavers and about the same number of school leavers that are now looking for work and haven't filtered into the jobs numbers yet.

I wonder how many jobs in Utah are due to the construction of the new $2bn NSA data center. The construction of this is now almost complete.

The job gains in Texas, Florida and Georgia are all in low paying sectors. 

No details are available of which sector(s) California jobs gains are. 

Nevada has the highest official unemployment rate. A fall out from the housing bubble. I wonder how the casinos are doing in 2nd Qtr 2013. With the precipitous drop in disposable incomes - less people will have the cash to go to Las Vegas.  

North and South Dakota have the lowest unemployment rates. A reflection of the booming energy sector in those states.

A one month up tick in California's job numbers cannot be taken as a trend.

Farewell to privacy: life in a surveillance state

Love him or hate him, Edward Snowden forever disabused us of the notion that certain things in life are still private. Reaction to his disclosures is directly proportionate to the level of support or disgust over the growing surveillance establishment.

In spite of the fact that the odds of becoming the victim of a terrorist attack in the U.S. are 20 million to 1, the global war on terror continues to be used as the pretext for taking away any remnants of our fragile privacy. It’s been estimated that during the last decade the U.S. spent $7 trillion dollars to fund this endless battle. The fear of a phantom bearded terrorist, waving a pitchfork out of a desert cave in a distant land is also being used to silence any criticism over ourextrajudicial drone murders, foreign policy, as well as domestic and international spying.

While the U.S. is more than willing to sacrifice the lamb of our privacy at the throne of the ubiquitous “war on terror”, we openly support Sunni extremists all over the world, grant asylum to murderous Chechen terrorists, arm Al Qaeda affiliates in Syria and encourage our allies to do the same.

It also bares mentioning that the definition of terrorism is in the eye of the beholder. The Department of Homeland Security’s intelligence assessmentswarn government officials to be on a lookout for American veterans, anti-war protesters and those who dare to reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority. Speaking out against corruption or simply voicing your disagreement with our official foreign policy on heavily-monitored social networks is very likely to turn you into a target of warrantless surveillance.

Let’s examine what it’s like to live our lives under the microscope. In the morning, when you open the refrigerator, crank up your coffeemaker, use a toaster or any other kitchen gadget, your movements become a part of a larger network. Surveillance-minded Big Brother has been eyeing “dumb appliances” for years. Now that most of them contain sensitive electronics, items of interest can be “located, identified, monitored, and remotely controlled through technologies such as radio-frequency identification, sensor networks, tiny embedded servers, and energy harvesters - all connected to the next-generation internet using abundant, low-cost, and high-power computing,” explained General David Petraeus.
