Just as various Western countries gear up for military
strikes against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, ‘terror incidents’ hit their respective
homelands right on cue to give the politicians their belated ‘casus belli’ for
joining the campaign to be rid of ISIS.
French President Francois Hollande is surrounded by
Heads of state including (LtoR) Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
Mali’s President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel,
European Council President Donald Tusk, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas,
Italy’s Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and Switzerland’s President Simonetta
Sommaruga as they attend the solidarity march (Marche Republicaine) in the
streets of Paris January 11, 2015.
The
“Islamists” strike again –at least that’s what those who stand behind the
latest outrage in Paris want us to believe.
On Wednesday, two masked gunmen wielding AK-47s
stormed the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical newspaper based in
Paris, France, assassinating the entire leadership of the paper. Twelve people
were killed in the ensuing rampage, mostly Charlie Hebdo employees and a few
policemen. Days later, four more random civilians were gunned down at a kosher
supermarketby two other militants allegedly connected to the shooters in Paris.
Sporadically shouting “Allah Akbar” throughout the
duration of their onslaught, the two attackers were caught on video making a
spectacle of themselves as they paraded down the Paris street guns blazing. It
is typically unusual for terrorists to immediately make it known who they are
and what they stand for before concluding their dirty work, an anomaly the
mainstream media refuses to emphasize for obvious reasons.
Other anomalies are cause for skepticism. How did the
terrorists get ahold of military-grade weaponry undetected? Journalist Gearoid
O Colmain told Russia Today that the two deceased
suspects,French-born Said and Cherif Kouachi, had received military training
from militants in Syria and had also traveled to Yemen to meet with al-Qaeda
leaders there. And yet the pair
was able to return to France without interference from authorities. Other
reports indicate that the brothers were known and being monitored by French
intelligence, but were still able to obtain the necessary armaments to conduct
Wednesday’s attack without a hiccup.
In a Jan. 8 article, Sputnik News reported:
“Said and Cherif Kouachi, two brothers in their 30s who are suspected of
committing the [Charlie Hebdo] terror attack, have been known to France’s
General Directorate for Internal Security and the prefecture of Police of
Paris, Le Point news magazine said Thursday.” TheSputnik article
further revealed that in 2008 Cherif Kouachi had been arrested and sentenced to
a prison term of three years for attempting to recruit others to fight for
al-Qaeda in Iraq.
Others contend some aspects of the Paris shooting were
completely staged like a scene from a Hollywood action movie. Ali Şahin, a
Turkish MEP and member of the ruling AKP party, echoed this view, citing the mysterious
absence of street traffic where the shooting took place, and the odd lack of
blood or recoil when a Paris cop was shot point blank by one of the gunmen.
In an op-ed for Press TV, analyst Kevin Barrett calls into
question the dubious story that authorities found IDs left behind in the
terrorists’ get-away car, which led policeto quickly identify the suspects.
Barrett contends that such a ‘mistake’ would not be made by sophisticated
terrorists, but rather bears the markings of a false flag deception aimed at
implicating Muslims.
A
source said the items were found in the abandoned black Citroen.
“Al-Qaeda in Yemen” is officially being blamed for the
Charlie Hebdo massacre, an unusual detour from ISIS or ‘Islamic State’ (IS) as
it is now called, which has been the go-to bogeyman for neoconservative talking
heads on the mass media for months.
According
to aFox Newsreport, “Cherif Kouachi told a French TV station before Friday’s raid at an
industrial park that he was sent by Al Qaeda in Yemen and had been financed by
the cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.” The same report goes on to admit that al-Awlaki
was “killed by a U.S. airstrike in Yemen in 2011,” but failed to explain how a
dead man was able to finance and direct an attack four years after his
death.
Many questions about the Paris attack remain and will
likely go unanswered by the subservient sell-outs who populate mainstream media
outlets.
Western Foreign Policy and Muslim Discontent
Even if we were to presuppose that a group of Muslims
carried out a terrorist attack like the one we saw in Paris, one question
journalists and reporters should be asking is ‘why would Muslims be angry
enough to want to harm France and its citizens?’ To evade this essential line
of inquiry, the prevailing script contends that it was Charlie Hebdo’s
anti-Islamic cartoons, which depict Islam’s prophet Mohammed in a derogatory
manner, that motivated the attack, and nothing else — a convenient narrative
for France’s political class whose militaristic foreign policy warrants
scrutiny.
Following the lead of Washington and Tel Aviv, France
has as of late pursued staunchly anti-Muslim foreign policies, yet it befuddles
journalists to ask why Muslims are upset with the present pro-American,
pro-Israeli puppet regime in Paris?
It cannot be overlooked that America and France led
the NATO onslaught against Libya in 2011, bombarding civilians and
infrastructure in the name of “liberating” the predominately Muslim North
African country from a ‘dictator.’ Thanks to the US, Britain, France, Canada
and other rogue states, Libya – once a boon of progress in an otherwise bleak
part of the world – is now a failed state plagued by terrorism and civil war.
The stability and prosperity that Libyans once enjoyed under Gaddafi is nothing
but a distant memory as the country is teetering on collapse whilst NATO-backed
Takfiri gangs and warlords wrestle for control of Tripoli.
Many have also forgotten that the French invaded Mali,
a Muslim-majority country in West Africa, in January of 2013 to put down the
rise of armed groups opposed to France’s puppet regime in Bamako.Add to that
France’s unyielding support of Israel and its terroristic policies against the
Palestinians.
In the case of real Muslim violence directed at France
and other NATO member states, it would be wise to broach the underlying causes
of Muslim discontent, rather than objectifying it with stale neocon propaganda
memes about’72 virgins in heaven’ and other inanities.
Could it be that the Muslim world has suffered a
litany of Western military invasions over the past few decades, causing the
deaths and displacement of a few million Muslims, which may lie behind the
deep-seated consternation and disdain emanating from that part of the world? Or
do they simply ‘hate us for our freedoms,’ as neocon warmongers and Zionists
assure us?
An average intellect could easily deduce the above
puzzle, but those are queries that few in the degenerated ‘mainstream’ dare to
raise with any serious vigor.
Islamic Extremism: A Manufactured Enemy?
So now we’ve seen attacks in Ottawa, Sydney and Paris
within a relatively short period of time. Is it reasonable to believe that this
recent string of ‘lone-wolf jihadist’ attacks across the West have been organic
occurrences, cooked up in the deranged minds of mad-men? Or is there something
more sinister at work?
Many
analysts are questioning the dubious timing and nature of all of these
incidents, which come at just the right moment to lend credence to the US-led
coalition against ISIS.It is nothing short of miraculous that just as various
Western countries gear up for military strikes against ISIS in Iraq and Syria,
‘terror incidents’ hit their respective homelands right on cue to give the
politicians their belated ‘casus belli’ for joining the campaign to be rid of
ISIS.
In any case, the West’s crusade against ISIS is as
counterfeit as it is comical.
TheWest’s ‘fight against ISIS’ is not truly aimed at
combatting the militant group, but rather at destabilizing the region as a
whole to further weaken and disorientate Israel’s rivals.Al-Qaeda, ISIS,
al-Nusra Front — they are all outgrowths of the same poisonous American-Zionist
imperial tree.
Washington and Tel Aviv have routinely sponsored
Takfiri zealots against regimes they seek to depose,the latest victims being
Bashar al-Assad in Syria and Muammar Gaddafi in Libya. These armed radical
groups have served a two-tiered purpose for their clandestine backers in
America and Israel: firstly, they provide a pretext for the US and its lapdogs
to invade the Middle East; secondly,they act as scare-crows to corral public
opinion behind the interventions, providing a replenishing source of patsies
and dupes that can take the fall for false flag attacks engineered by the
state.
After each and every one of these terror events,
Western government shave immediately enacted legislation which increases the
powers of the secret services and police, effectively establishing a
police/surveillance state aimed at cracking down on civilian dissent against
government policies. Extirpating the ‘war on terror’s’ critics at home, while
attacking Israel’s enemies abroad – what a perfect brew for the masterminds of
this global strategy of tension operating under the guise of ‘Jihadism.’
“Free Speech” to Bash Muslims, but not Zionists
In response to the atrocity in Paris, French
politicians and other Western leaders have been pontificating about Western
‘values’ and have selectively invoked ‘freedom of speech.’ “We live in a free
and open democracy which has freedom of speech,” the West’s dishonest leaders
say.
“Radical
Muslims don’t believe in ‘our values,’ hence the necessity to fight them
overseas” is the standard establishment talking point, trotted out time and
again by the professional script readers fronting as presidents and prime ministers.
The hypocrisy is stunning. Like most of Europe today,
France is certainly not a
bastion of freedom of speech, having implemented numerous draconian laws over
the years, especially the infamous “Gayssot Act” which criminalizes opinions
that contradict official World War II and ‘holocaust’ historiography.
French
revisionists such as Robert Faurisson,Vincent Reynouard and others who have
questioned the “Six Million” mythology have been jailed and fined extortionate
amounts of money by the French state for their dissident historical viewpoints.
The existence of such repressive laws in France unveils the duplicity of the
new found love of free speech being expressed by the likes of French President
Francois Hollande and his ministers.
Taking a page out of Stalin’s playbook, the French
regime recently banned pro-Palestine protests, even going
so far as to prosecute a number of prominent pro-Palestinian activists as “hate
criminals.” And while France’s reprobate leaders fully sanction and even
encourage satirical assaults upon Islam and
Muslims in the name of “free speech” –not to mention lobbing bombs on
Muslims in places like Libya and Mali –these same miscreants have outlawed any
parodying of Zionism and Jewish privilege.
While
championing Charlie Hebdo’s anti-Muslim cartoons as “free expression,” France’s
mealy-mouthed political class have simultaneously led a ceaseless witch-hunt
against French comedian Dieudonne, whose anti-Zionist parodies have angered the
country’s Jewish ruling class. French authorities have enacted stiff bans
against the wildly popular Dieudonne, preventing him from performing at public
venues across the country under penalty of prison time and fines.Britain too
has banned the comic from entering that country on the grounds that his famous
“Quenelle” gesture resembles a Nazi salute and is therefore ‘anti-Semitic.’
In reference to Dieudonne, French President Francois
Hollande himself pledged to use every means at the disposal of his government
to “fight against the sarcasm of those who purport to be humorists but who are
actually professional anti-Semites.” In Hollande’s Orwellian France, “free
speech” is reserved only for those who defame Islam, whereas critics of Zionism
and Jewish exceptionalism are first stigmatized and then criminalized – a
tribute to the real power behind the throne of that once-free country.
