False Flag Ops
False Flag Ops
From Nero to 9/11, via Pearl Harbour and the Gulf of Tonkin incident...
Joe Crubaugh provides an "all time greatest hits" of false flag
operations, whereby one scenario is repeated... as the world keeps
falling for the same lie.
Rome, the night of July 19, 64 AD. The Great Fire burst through the
rooftops of shops near the mass entertainment and chariot racing
venue called Circus Maximus. The flames, whipped by a strong wind,
rapidly engulfed densely populated areas of the city. After burning
uncontrolled for five days, four of the 14 Roman districts were burned
to the ground, and seven more were severely damaged._It was no
secret that Nero wanted to build a series of palaces which he planned
to name "Neropolis". But, the planned location was in the city and in
order to build Neropolis, a third of Rome would have to be torn down.
The Senate rejected the idea. Then, coincidentally, the fire cleared the
very real estate Neropolis required.
Despite the obvious benefit, there's still a good probability that Nero
did not start the fire. Up to a hundred small fires regularly broke out in
Rome each day. On top of that, the fire destroyed Nero's own palace
and it appears that Nero did everything he could to stop the fire.
Accounts of the day say that when Nero heard about the fire, he rushed
back from Antium to organize a relief effort, using his own money. He
opened his palaces to let in the homeless and had food supplies
delivered to the survivors._Nero also devised a new urban
development plan that would make Rome less vulnerable to fire. But,
although he put in place rules to insure a safer reconstruction, he also
gave himself a huge tract of city property with the intention of building
his new palace there. _People knew of Nero's plans for Neropolis, and
all his efforts to help the city could not counteract the rampant
rumours that he'd help start the fire. As his poll numbers dropped,
Nero's administration realised the need to employ False Flag 101:
When something - anything - bad happens to you, even if it's
accidental, point the finger at your enemy._Luckily, there was a new
cult of religious nuts at hand. The cult was unpopular because its
followers refused to worship the emperor, denounced possessions,
held secret meetings and they were always talking about the
destruction of Rome and the end of the world. Even more luckily for
Nero, two of the cult's biggest leaders, Peter and Paul, were currently
in town. Nero spread word that the Christians had started the Great
Fire. The citizens of Rome bought his lie hook, line and sinker. Peter
was crucified and Paul beheaded. Hundreds of others in the young cult
were fed to the lions or smeared with tar and set on fire to become
human street lamps.
The Spanish Empire was the first truly global empire, reaching its
territorial height in the late 1700s. By 1898, Spain was losing
territories regularly. Cuba too was becoming increasingly hard to
control and a minor revolution had broken out. This wasn't welcome
news to people in the United States who owned Cuban sugar, tobacco
and iron industry properties valued at over $50 million (worth ca. $1.2
billion today)._The main stream media, then dominated by newspaper
magnates Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, exaggerated -
and outright fabricated - stories of horrible conditions under Spanish
rule. Following the age-old maxim, "If it bleeds, it leads", the
newspapers published stories about Spanish death camps, Spanish
cannibalism and inhumane torture. The newspapers sent reporters to
Cuba. However, when they got there, they found a different story.
Artist and correspondent Frederick Remington wrote back to Hearst:
"There is no war. Request to be recalled." Hearst's famous reply:
"Please remain. You furnish the pictures, I'll furnish the war." And he
did. His newspaper, continually screaming how Spanish Cuba was
going to hell in a hand basket, convinced big business interests in the
US to put pressure on anti-war President William McKinley to protect
their Cuban investments. McKinley, in response, sent the USS Maine
battleship to Havana Harbour as a calming show of force.
Three weeks after arriving, on the night of February 15, 1898, the USS
Maine exploded, killing 266 men. There are two theories for the
explosion: some believe the explosion was caused by an external mine
that detonated the ship's ammunition magazines. Others say it was
caused by a spontaneous coal bunker fire that reached the ammunition
magazines. Currently, the evidence seems to favour the external mine
theory._Without waiting on an investigation, America's mainstream
media blamed the tragedy on Spain and beat the drums for war. By
April, McKinley yielded to public pressure and signed a congressional
resolution declaring war on Spain. To help pay for the Spanish-
American War, congress enacted a "temporary" tax of 3 percent on
long-distance telephone bills. This was essentially a tax on the rich, as
only about 1,300 Americans owned phones in 1898. Although the
Spanish-American War ended in 1898, the temporary tax was only
abolished in... 2005. Over its lifetime, the 107-year-old tax generated
almost $94 billion - more than 230 times the cost of the Spanish-
American War.
In 1933, just a week before general elections that might place enough
Nazis in office to make Hitler defacto dictator, the Reichstag, which
housed the parliament of the German Empire, was set on fire. Adolf
Hitler assured everyone that communist terrorists started the fire.
Hitler's party member Hermann Göring stated that he had secret
evidence that would soon be made public; evidence that proved
communists did it. These proclamations came on top of weeks of Nazi-
organized street violence designed to whip the public into a
pathological fear of communists._The next day, the Nazis convinced a
senile President von Hindenburg to sign the Reichstag Decree. The
decree, using defence against terrorism as an excuse, suspended just
about every major civil liberty set forth in the Weimar Constitution:
habeus corpus (the right to know why you're being put in jail)? Gone.
Freedom of opinion? Gone. Freedom of the press? Not any more.
Freedom to organise and assemble? Deported. The Reichstag decree
even allowed the government to spy on its own citizens' personal mail
and telephone conversations without a warrant... something most
Americans today could hardly begin to fathom... a precursor to
President George W. Bush secret order in 2002 ordering the National
Security Agency to do just exactly the same thing._So what about the
fire? The only thing historians seem to agree on is that Marinus van der
Lubbe, a former Dutch Communist and mentally disturbed arsonist
hungry for fame, was found inside the building. Despite the Nazi
attempt to blame the fire on a group of communists, the communists
were later acquitted by the Nazi government itself. After years of
extensive investigation, most historians believe the Hitlerites
themselves set fire to the Reichstag using van der Lubbe as their patsy:
they knew a nut was going to try to burn down the building and not
only did they let him do it, but they may have befriended him,
encouraged him and even helped the blaze spread by scattering
gasoline and incendiaries._Most Germans, feeling safe from terrorism
again, didn't mind that their freedom and liberty had been stolen, or
that so much of their life and work had become so strictly controlled.
On the contrary, they felt very enthusiastic and patriotic about the new
government because they ignorantly believed the new government
cared about them. And as long as the average citizen worked hard,
kept his mouth shut and let his kids take part in the Hitler Youth
organization, he stayed out of the detention camps.
In July, 1954, an Israeli terrorist cell was activated inside Egypt. The
ensuing attacks, cleverly designed to look like the work of Arabs,
blasted and torched American and British targets. First, the Israeli
terrorists firebombed the Alexandria Post Office. Then, they
firebombed the US Information Agency libraries: one in Alexandria, and
one in Cairo. Then, they firebombed a British-owned Metro-Goldwyn
Mayer theatre, a railway terminal, the central post office, and a couple
more theatres..._To smuggle their bombs inside the buildings, the
terrorists used devices shaped like books, hiding them inside book
covers. Once inside, bags filled with acid were placed on top of the
nitroglycerin bombs. After several hours, the acid ate through the bags
and ignited the nitroglycerin, causing explosions and blazing infernos.
In the early 1950s, the United States was making fast friends with
Egypt, taking advantage of the new pan-Arab Egyptian government of
Gamal Abdel Nasser. The warming relationship between the US and
Egypt caused a very insecure Israel to feel threatened. Nassar also had
plans to nationalize the Suez Canal, which had been controlled by the
British for decades. Egypt had been known to blockade Israeli shipping
through the canal and Israel feared Nassar would make a blockade
permanent._After US President Eisenhower began encouraging the
British to leave the Suez Canal Zone, Israel started looking for a way to
make the British stay, and a way to remain best buddies with America.
And what better way to treat your best friend than to stab them in the
back and tell them one of your other friends did it?
8. Operation Northwoods
Like many buildings built in the 1970s, the twin towers were
constructed with vast quantities of cancer-causing asbestos. The cost
of removing the Twin Tower asbestos? A year's worth of revenues at a
minimum; possibly as much as the value of the buildings themselves.
The cost to disassemble the Twin Towers floor by floor would have run
into the double-digit billions. In addition, the Port Authority was
prohibited from demolishing the towers because the resulting asbestos
dust would cover the entire city, which it did when they collapsed,
resulting in many cancers with a confirmed link to the WTC
dust._Despite its questionable status, in January of 2001, Larry
Silverstein made a $3.2 billion bid for the World Trade Center. On July
24, the Port Authority accepted the offer. Silverstein then took out an
insurance policy that, understandably, covered terrorist attacks, which
happened seven weeks later. To date, Silverstein has been awarded
almost $5 billion from nine different insurance companies. What was
an asbestos nightmare turned into a $1.8 billion profit within seven
weeks.
Donald Rumsfeld said about the Pentagon on the morning of
September 10, 2001: "According to some estimates we cannot track
$2.3 trillion in transactions." That bombshell was pretty much
forgotten by the next morning. So, as a reward for losing $8,000 for
every man, woman, and child in America, taxpayers patriotically forked
over another $370 billion and counting to invade Iraq. True to form,
the Pentagon promptly lost $9 billion of that money, too.
Eight days after the attacks, the 342-page Patriot Act was given to
Congress. That same week, letters armed with anthrax from a US
military lab entered the mail. Subsequently, while Congressional
offices were evacuated, examined, cleaned and nasal cavities swabbed,
the Patriot Act remained largely unread. Then, with little debate, the
Patriot Act became law, giving the Bush administration unprecedented
power to access people's medical records, tax records, information
about the books they bought or borrowed and the power to conduct
secret residential searches without notifying owners that their homes
had been searched.
In early 2001, executives from Shell, BP, and Exxon met with Dick
Cheney's Energy Task Force while it was developing its new national
energy policy. Later, the companies freely admitted interest in profiting
from Iraq's oil fields, even before the US invaded Iraq. And now? A new
Iraq hydrocarbon law expected to pass in March 2007 will open the
door for international investors, led by BP, Exxon and Shell, to siphon
off 75 percent of Iraq oil wealth for the next thirty years.

If you follow the money, you can see that the people with the most to
gain occupied the key military and civilian positions to help 9/11
happen, as well as to cover up the crime. Such is the hallmark of false
flag operations throughout history. But the incredible scale of the 9/11
sham, and the sheer number of people who still refuse to see the
mountain of truth in front of their eyes...that's what makes the
September 11, 2001 attacks the greatest false flag operation of all
time._Hermann Göring stated: "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."_Adolf Hitler in Mein
Kampf, a book still forbidden in some countries (such as France),
wrote: "In the size of the lie there is always contained a certain factor
of credibility, since the great masses of the people...will more easily fall
victim to a great lie than to a small one."
