The False Flag Link: Passport “Found” Next To Suicide Bomber Was “Definitely A Forgery”

Tyler Durden's picture

Yesterday, when we explained just how the tragic events in France over the past 48 hours unfolded precisely as we predicted they would two months ago (ironically, as per our post from September 11, 2015) we commented on the oddly fortuitous discovery of an intact Syrian passport found next to the body of one of the suicide bombers, a passport which Greece chimed in as belonging to a Syrian refugee who had entered the country at Leros on October 3, 2015 from where he subsequently travelled all the way to Paris.

Specifically, we said that “we admit to not being experts on the nuances, or even basics, of “suicide bombing for terrorists 101”, but is bringing your own passport to an event that will be your last, really that crucial, especially when the passport is such a critical smoking gun?

The following cartoon best captures the idiocy of anyone actually believing a suicide bomber would have brought their actual passport to what they knew would be their last act on earth.

Shortly thereafter, it was Serbia’s turn to join the story of the rogue “Syrian refugee”, when the Serbian newspaper Blic published the picture of the alleged Syrian passport belonging to a 25-year-old man named Ahmed Almohamed, and said he had crossed into the country on 7 October, having arrived four days earlier in Leros, Greece, seeking Serbian refugee status.

 

Then a Greek newspaper, Protothema, said he was travelling with a second man, Mohammed Almuhamed, and published pictures purporting to show their travel documents. The Guardian proposed the following map to track Ahma’s progress across Europe:

 

And then a few hours ago, the story took an even more surreal twist when we learned that, according to both French and US sources, the passport was “definitely a forgery.”

BREAKING: French police source says Syrian passports are ‘definitely forgeries’ and fakes can be purchased easily for few hundred dollars.

Some more details courtesy of IBTimes:

The Syrian passport recovered from near one of the Paris attackers may be fake, a US intelligence official told CBS news. The document did not contain the correct numbers for a legitimate Syrian passport and the picture did not match the name, said the official.

 

The passport found near the body of one of the eight attackers who struck on Friday, 13 November, was used to enter the European Union through Greece in October. The Serbian interior ministry said that the passport was used to enter that country on 7 October, by a man claiming refugee status.

So how to make sense from a story that has drifted from the merely laughable, to the bizarre, to the outright surreal? Guardian’s Patrick Kingsley attempts an explanation:

There are several reasons why it’s worth waiting until all the facts are known before making too strong a link between the attacks and the refugee crisis. The first is a general one: on at least 12 occasions, Isis has actually criticised refugees for fleeing to Europe. “For those who want to blame the attacks on Paris on refugees, you might want to get your facts straight,” wrote Aaron Zelin, an analyst of jihad, in an online commentary about the 12 outbursts. “The reality is, [Isis] loathes that individuals are fleeing Syria for Europe. It undermines [Isis’s] message that its self-styled caliphate is a refuge.” It’s therefore unlikely that the vast majority of Syrians fleeing to Europe are Isis supporters, since their actions are in obvious contravention of the group’s creed.

 

The second reason for caution is more specific. Investigators still need to verify the Syrian passport was carried by an attacker rather than a dead bystander (one Egyptian passport-holder initially believed to be an assailant turned out to be an injured victim). They will then need to be certain that the passport’s carrier was the same as the passport’s legitimate owner.

 

It’s possible that it was stolen. Since the possession of a Syrian passport makes it easier to claim asylum in Europe, there is a busy trade in stolen Syrian documents. Syrians interviewed on Greece’s border with Macedonia have described how they were mugged for their passports after leaving the Greek islands as they tried to make their way north through the Balkans. Such passports can be sold on for as much as several thousand euros, in a trade that the EU’s border agency acknowledges is a growing problem. Forgeries are also common; a Dutch journalist recently had one made in the name of his prime minister.

 

A third red flag is the fact that the passport concerned was found in the first place. Analysts find it strange that a bomber would remember to bring his passport on a mission, particularly one who does not intend to return alive. “Why would a jihadist who expressly rejects all notions of modern citizenship take his passport on a suicide mission?” tweeted Charlie Winter, an analyst focusing on Islamist extremism. “So it gets found.”

One theory is that Isis hopes to turn Europe against Syrian refugees. This would reinforce the idea of unresolvable divisions between east and west, and Christians and Muslims, and so persuade Syrians that Islamic State’s self-proclaimed caliphate is their best hope of protection. “You know what pissed off Islamist extremists the most about Europe?” summarised Iyad El-Baghdadi, an activist and jihadi-watcher, on Twitter. “It was watching their very humane, moral response to the refugee crisis.”

His conclusion:

“Whether the passport was planted, stolen, forged or genuine, investigators should find out the truth soon enough. But regardless of what they discover, a wider debate has now begun about the wisdom of letting so many unknown migrants enter Europe through its southern borders, and being allowed to move onwards through the continent with few restrictions. Already, there are calls to step up the policing of Greece’s maritime border with Turkey, and to block the passage of refugees entirely.”

What is becoming clear is that either the passport was planted, or is a fake, or both. But while we agree with the Guardian that this shift in narrative will have an impact against the future flow of refugees into Europe, an even more acute consequence will from the “Syrian” angle will be to “incept” the idea that the entire Paris massacre was the result of events in Syria (and hence, al Assad is directly and indirectly responsible) thus generating goodwill toward a military operation that include a French ground force. In fact, the wheels are already in motion:

France may send its “expeditionary force” to Syria in order to retaliate against ISIL, according to the US-based intelligence firm Stratfor; the group has claimed responsibility for Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris, which claimed at least 129 lives.

 

Analysts from the private intelligence company Stratfor believe that France may send its “expeditionary force” to Syria or Iraq in response to the deadly Paris attacks that rocked the French capital on Friday night. They claimed that France has a whole array of options for retaliation “at its disposal”, but that the country’s response will depend on “who was ultimately responsible” for the Friday attacks.

 

“If it is found that the Islamic State core group was indeed behind the November 13 attack, France will likely ramp up its Syrian air operations,” Stratfor said.

 

In light of this, Stratfor analysts predicted that France may increase its programs to train and support anti-Islamic State forces in Iraq and Syria, or even to carry out “commando strikes against key leadership nodes.”

 

“France also has the option of deploying an expeditionary force like it did in the Sahel [region of Africa], although that would probably require outside airlift capacity from NATO allies, especially the United States,” Stratfor pointed out.

And the latest surprise, is that moments ago it was Greece again which claimed that despite allegations to the contrary, the passport was, in fact, real. How it “concluded” this remains a mystery…

… and once again shows that there is a deep political motive on virtually every side to use this human tragedy as a “false flag” event to achieve specific, geopolitical goals.

Al Nusrah, Al Qaeda, ISIS, ISIL, BOKO Haram, and dozens of other Sunni terrorist groups, appear to be operatives for the Gulf States, Saudi Arabia, and Israel, our friends. Working to advance Western domination of energy rich territories. Maybe France has been flirting with Russia and needed a subtle reminder of their proper allegiance.
Who is your daddy?

Trying to wrap my head around this given the current geopolitical standoff in Syria between NATO and Russia and now with a massive killing, a fake passport and a retaliatory bombing campaign it’s all starting to make sense.

The elites in the west are trying to start WW3.

In the mean time we continue to import ‘refugees’ – meaning mostly military age males – from the region which continues to terrorize every nation in which they settle.

To sum up:

We are being overrun by insane religious zealots called muslims which are being used as weapons against us to divide us domestically and as an excuse internationally to engage our elite’s enemies. It is a two pronged attack – domestic and international – and our leaders are the perps. Mother fuckers… this will not end well.

From ZH:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-11-15/french-campaign-begins-hollande-launches-massive-bombardment-isis-capital

“Moments ago, reports began to surface on social media that the ISIS “capital” of Raqqa was under siege from the sky.

It wasn’t hard to guess whose planes were carrying out the strikes. As we noted ten days ago, in a statement by the French presidency following a meeting of its defense cabinet, the government said it would send its only aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle warship, to the eastern Mediterranean for operations against Isis in both Syria and Iraq. And as you might imagine, that’s not the only place Paris has warplanes stationed in the region.

Just yesterday we said that with the only French aircraft carrier already en route to Syria, meant to support to mission against Assad ISIS, France is oddly prepared for an all out attack to take out the Syrian president. Most importantly, it now has the outraged, incensed public’s blessing to do just that.

Sure enough, we just got confirmation that France, with the help of US intelligence, has commenced a “major” bombing campaign against Raqqa……..

@Francis Marion: What do you mean by “Just yesterday we said that with the only French aircraft carrier already en route to Syria, meant to support to mission against Assad ISIS, France is oddly prepared for an all out attack to take out the Syrian president.”

Assad and ISIS are on separate sides of the conflict. Why would France want to take him out, unless it’s to do U.S. bidding or part of the spoils from the pipeline, which is a major underlying reason for his removal. But the U.S. doesn’t want to take ISIS out, which is why the Pentagram is pissed at the Russians because they’re doing a credible job, unlike the U.S. “efforts”.

Other than that, I pretty much agree with your P.O.V.

Bea, consider that there may be deaths in false flag ops. There certainly were for 9/11, the Lufthansa crash, MH17, and likely many others. Not every false flag is a bloodless Sandy Hook or Boston Marathon bombing. Not every false flag is all fakery. On the Paris bombing, from what I’ve read and seen so far, many were killed though some other deaths may have been staged. I’m with the Administrator on this one. I especially like his comment, “(Bea) I asked you two questions. Please answer.” Popping popcorn, laughing it up, and carrying on with your circle jerk aren’t what I’d call rational answers to a reasonable question.
By the way, Bea, I’m keeping an open mind about this until I’ve had a chance to read more internet investigators. Now I think you’re wrong about the Paris shooting deaths – but not the false flag designation. However, I was a government explanation believer about the JFK and RFK assassinations, the OK City bombing, 911, and several other horrors and later changed my mind as I got more information.

Westcoaster,

I didn’t say it – it was an excerpt from the story at ZH I linked to. Sorry if that was’t clear.

This whole situation is a complete Hegelian cluster fuck. Interesting perspective from PCR tonight too on ZH:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-11-15/paul-craig-roberts-matrix-extends-its-reach

Time will tell which theory bears fruit. I personally think this whole thing has been designed since the beginning to simply end the western system of self governance/rights and usher in a new era of war, control and global corporate fascism/socialism. The new technochratic/technological serfdom.

We have muslims used as weapons and scape goats because they are inherently violent leading to domestic conflict and an “extreme right wing” backlash, tightening screws as a result , international conflict with an old bear willing to play its part, then war and the trimming of the plebs with university students, the media and a disillusioned mass of drones hooked up to social media believing everything they are told driving the whole agenda forward as they practically beg for their chains to be fashioned.

Now I am wondering where the final piece of the puzzle fits as China – finally accepted into the SDR awaits America’s reaction while Europe crumbles and the ME burns.

All the players are now in place. The stage is set. The final act is upon us as we – those paying attention to the great game – await the final curtain and then….???? Who the fuck knows…

The governments of Europe are complicit in allowing these immigrants to flood their countries either against the wishes of their people or without giving them a voice. They absolutely know what they’re doing and they knew what the outcome would be. I’m 100% convinced of that. However, that doesn’t mean I think the current events in France are faked or carried out by the French authorities.

IMO, this is the natural and explicitly stated desire of these fucking barbaric savages stuck in the 7th fucking century. I fully expect our so called leaders to take full advantage of the crisis per their own stated desires. The only way this shit ends is when you drive them out………..savages AND oligarchs.

And the video in the alley outside of the side exit….what is missing? Where are the other two hundred people that were in the theater? If you notice the front of the theater sidewalk is clear, would it not be full of fleeing screaming people? And in the end the woman hanging by her fingertips has a gal CASUALLY saunter over like it’s no threat to her safety and she starts to pull the woman back in…….a little strange. Oh, I’m sure there is a perfectly simple explanation, right?

No doubt the attacks were real – but as someone once said – never let a good crisis of to waste…

I/S – great video by SGT report. Wow, there was a drill planned that very day. That says a lot. I had not heard that until watching that video. Are there other reports about this drill? Will we see anything on FOX, CNN, etc., about a planned drill that “went live”?

Poor old SSS is blinded by his own light. Hard to face facts, isn’t it? Numerous CREDIBLE links provided, yet he continues to deny. Guess his pension keeps him loyal despite overwhelming evidence.

Something I don’t understand, false flag or not, is that if these “elites” want a WWIII, why not just get it on–why are all these incidents necessary? They certainly have the power to do a far larger plot, such as a nuclear detonation, to get the apocalypse going.

Unfortunately ,I’ve seen blood flow before. The bloodtrails flowing down the path of least resistance is telling. The paths that look like someone dragged , looks like attempts at triage of some sort , or getting your friends out , same thing. There are some issues with the photo tho, their is no where near enough blood there for 20 + people shot with an AK . unless that was an absolutely bone dry dirt floor . Which would soak up a bit . Even with that seems weird, with some people proper blood trails and some with apparent zero ? single shot weps maybe but full auto ak not a chance . I’ve seen someone cut in half with a full auto and it looks decidedly different . I’m just a cook ,whatever .

breaking news for the false flag nutjobs: the police acknowledged yesterday that the passport was a bad fake, a copy and identified the corresponding kamikaze as a French national.

second point hardly known in the US, France is at 1 month from the regional elections and the attacks are an absolute disaster for the muslim-loving social-liberals currently in power, as Marine le Pen’s party will make a homerun, 1 year before the presidential campaign.

SSS- I appreciate your position, and service, in the CIA.
As I have said before, I believe they are neck deep in drugs and terrorist. The parallels are too great to ignore, too much concentrated power. How many billions did the CIA funnel/manage to the Mujaheddin? It was brilliant, mission accomplished, perfect take down of main geopolitical rival, hats off.
These years since 911, all of the exhausting terrorist hype, code orange, see something, say something, and not one of these purveyors of fear ever, EVER, supports boarder security. Hmmm, baffling, the disconnect is just plain baffling.

UNLESS, the Narcos are assets used to control the boarder. WIN, WIN. That School of the Americas is paying big dividends.

I could be wrong, I don’t know, I just suspect, and believe. Also, if they put America first, which I believe many do, I don’t care if they play hard, I prefer they do. I don’t care if they are neck deep in drugs and terrorist, as long as they use the power on behalf of America, and refrain from Assassinating Americans, or liquidating SOCOM operators, or use their power against America.
Alas, such concentrated power, is simultaneously necessary and destabilizing for our Empire, demanding vigilant suspicion on our behalf, lest they get carried away, which is certain.
