I have not looked into the latest attack blamed on ISIS, this time in Belgium, and I am not going to investigate it. The explanation was set in stone by the initial reporting, and any skepticism that is expressed is disregarded as conspiracy theory. I have seen reports that the bombs were in the ceilings and that the initial film released by authorities was in fact film from several years ago of the Chechnya attack on a Russian airport. If these reports are correct, they raise questions about the official set-in-stone story.
But the questions won’t be asked.
If the various bombings are false flag attacks, the governments will get away with them, because the attacks blamed on Muslim terrorists fit every agenda that is out there. Government agendas for more war, military spending, and police state measures are served. But so also are the agendas of those who want to limit immigration, those who want to blame the bombings on blowback from Western imperialism, those such as the Russian government who desire a united front against terrorism, and those who use the bombings to stress the innate goodness of the West, which attracts hatred because of its goodness. Washington likes the bombings because they keep Europeans scared and the governments under Washington’s thumb.
Anyone who raises real questions is set upon by every group for whom the bombings blamed on ISIS are a blessing to their agenda.
Just as we hear today that ISIS bombed an airport or whatever, we heard throughout the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s that this or that communist group, such as the Red Brigades, the Red Army Faction or Baader-Meinhof gang had bombed a train station. In truth these bombings were the work of Operation Gladio, a conspiracy of the CIA and European intelligence services against the European peoples. The conspiracy was revealed by the Italian government and culminated in an extensive investigation in which intelligence operatives testified that they focused on killing woman and children because it had the greatest impact in discrediting the communists on whom the attacks were blamed. European communist parties in Italy and France were growing in electoral success, and Washington wanted the communists discredited. That is what the bombings achieved.
So today when you hear the presstitutes report that ISIS bombed this and that, all you really know is that this is the government’s claim and that governments made similar claims in the post-WWII 20th century when Washington regarded it as imperative to discredit European communist parties.
Western governments have always found it easy to hoodwink their populations, and it is just as easy today.
March 26, 2016, A Report from Warsaw, Poland:
Dear Dr Roberts,
With the reference to your article on the Bruxelles attacks, I was impatiently waiting for your comments during the recent days. As you indicated the RT immediately found that the 2011 Domodedovo airport attacks film was used by the media to depict the attack in Bruxelles. Also, no images of dead corpses were shown.
But let me report a bizarre thing from Poland. One, the right-wing PM immediately declared that there will be no refugees accepted in Poland, and it seems the authorities were waiting for such an event. Two, it came out the right-wing government, which has majority in the Sejm (Polish parliament), forced a draft of an extreme anti-terrorism bill, which grants virtually unlimited power to the secret police, the ABW, allows it and other security agencies to put anyone under surveillance without a court approval. It also grants the secret police access to all IT systems within Poland, and, most oddly, forces the registration of pre-paid telephone SIM cards, which were always accessible in Poland for a fee of just 5 PLN (ca. US$1.25) at any kiosk, supermarket or gas station without any need to provide your ID and/or address. To make matters worse, the draft did not explain what the “terrorist threat” means, which allows broad interpretation by the authorities and the imposition of martial law. It seems the draft was prepared well before the Bruxelles events because of its complicated character.
All these lead to a conclusion that the Bruxelles attacks were staged. RT also reported that an Israeli security company was responsible was Bruxelles airport security, which adds more doubts.
Thanks PCR.
Why is it there are always these stories of use of old film footage or prepared statements are read within minutes of attacks? They really don’t try to hide the shortcomings of their lying as they are so sure the sheep will buy it anyway.
The day will come when enough people understand this game and the tables will turn.
Muslims practice a religion of peace and love and would never conduct an outrage such as terror attacks in Europe or America,
So obviously these terror incidents are false flags that are intended to slander and blame the only people on earth that actually stand for and promote peace, the Muslims.
“Also, no images of dead corpses were shown.” ———- article
I KNEW IT !!!
They were all actors !!
No one died !!
It was all fun and games !!
Jeebus Effing Krissmas. Shaking my head ……..
From the article….” As you indicated the RT immediately found that the 2011 Domodedovo airport attacks film was used by the media to depict the attack in Bruxelles. Also, no images of dead corpses were shown.”
Couple of things…..First, dead corpses…..Can it be any more redundant?
Second, it seems a common denominator in many of these false flag accusations is that if we don’t see photos or videos of mangled or mutilated bodies, then it didn’t happen. Perhaps I am misguided, but I thought the meaning of false flag wasn’t necessarily that the event did not occur, but more so those that were responsible for the event were able to place the blame on another party for the purpose of shaping opinion or instituting laws or regulations favorable to their agenda.
To claim that no bombs exploded in the Brussels airport or subway requires a pretty large leap of faith in my book. I am supposed to believe that the American brother and sister did not die and the other known dead Americans are alive as well, and I suppose they have been paid millions to shut up and “go along”? Perhaps ISIS is not responsible, but currently I am hard pressed to believe that nothing even happened in Belgium.

Something exploded but where are the photos of say thirty ambulances lined up or hordes of EMT workers there to treat the victims? Put up some convincing pictures if you have any………I’m betting you can’t find anything of the sort.
That goes for you too Stucky.
“Western governments have always found it easy to hoodwink their populations, and it is just as easy today.” —- Why limit to just W. Gov’ts?
“If the various bombings are false flag attacks, the governments will get away with them, because the attacks blamed on Muslim terrorists fit every agenda that is out there.” —- The governments of W. Developed countries have encouraged immigration, even for the hordes of migrants from ME. A False Flag operation would go towards curtailing said immigration, which is the opposite of what the politicians are supporting.
Bea, well at least we agree that there was an explosion
Here are some pictures:
http://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2016/03/photos-of-the-Explosions-in-brussels/474828/
Photo#2 is probably fake. #9 has some good makeup and acting. #10 looks like ambulances to me. #11 has more good makeup. #13 not really sure but it looks like a bunch of ambulances, but being a foreign country those could just be beer trucks making deliveries or something. :o)
Well…
“A False Flag operation would go towards curtailing said immigration, which is the opposite of what the politicians are supporting”
Not necessarily. Both are in furtherance of stirring enmity between Christendom and Dar Islam.
Cui bono? The Buddhist monks? Stray Zoroastrians? Hmm…
It beggars all bounds of credulity a missionary just happened to be at 3 well-promoted terrorist events of recent years, leaping across contients. I have never seen a more overt litmus test / bounds testing of just how much BS they can actually sell to the sheeple.
I never understand how rational, thinking people could believe that the attack didn’t actually happen – that the airport in Belgium was essentially a movie set. (not directed at any other comments on this thread) Or that if it was, how the thing could be kept a secret with so many people involved.
What wouldn’t surprise me is that if a false flag were to be planned, part of the plan also includes generating outrageous conspiracy theory about the whole event not taking place. This would tend to polarize people’s thinking; people either believe that it was the work or terrorists or that it was a staged event. No one looks at the possibility that perhaps it was some of both.
Hiroshima, after Da Bomb.

Bea’s response;
—– Do you see bodies?? No!!!
—– Where’s all the blood!!
—– How come everything isn’t glowing??
—– FALSE FLAG, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!
heh heh

Your photo gallery proof (cough)
#1- Smiling women with pristine blankets.
#2- One guy no blood (no ambulance) looks like drill photo
#3- A man hugging a woman both perfectly fine no injury and no blood
#4- Oddly blown out windows
#5- No injury to man in foil blanket -those are not EMTs -short sleeved man’s shirt says (security guard)- drill photo
#6- One possibly two ambulances, screens up and street blocked (why?) how do you evacuate wounded? typical drill photo.
#7- Soldier with gun- no victims- no EMTs in sight -smartly dressed man posing.
#8-Two women no blood and no injury wrapped in pristine blankets
#9- Woman with blood on face- one guy assisting not a EMT- No EMT bag just bottled water and white napkins.
#10-Two ambulances- area taped off and street blocked (why?) how do you get wounded out? again typical drill photo.
#11- Woman on phone-woman in chair -no EMT -tiny amount of blood on wrist of woman on phone.
#12-Man with gray and reddish splotches on his sweat shirt listening to IPOD- ??
#13- Three ambulances- one victim no visible blood- 14 people EMT etc) standing around casually.
#14Victim with foil blanket -no blood-holding bottle of water. EMT has no blood on hands- woman with head wrapped-no blood either.
#15Hindu looking family wrapped in stripped blanket No and I mean no injury or blood- blankets pristine- staged photo.
#16-One helicopter in flight overhead- could be anywhere ??
#17-Drill photo- no EMTs present- cardboard box with bottled water?

Here is another photo collage with some different photos and some of the same. Some of them show a good amount of blood. Unfortunately, for the disbelieving, the blood is not spewing uncontrollably out of their mangled bodies so I guess those are fake too. More “hordes of ambulances” that you bet did not exist.
Bea..There are so many arguable points regarding your take on some of the other photos, but I’m really not interested in arguing them with you. Frankly, I don’t give a fuck because neither one of us is capable of proving their side beyond a shadow of a doubt so as to change the other’s mind. Thus, I find it a waste of time. The only reason I commented on this thread initially was because of the line in the article about “dead corpses” which I found truly redundant and also an underlying point in so many of these “false flag” discussions – that being if we don’t see bodies without limbs, heads or blood geysers spewing from them, then it is all fake.

The Brussels attacks most likely happened. But, is it still a false flag if it was ALLOWED to happen? The War on Terror that began on 911 is constantly serving the desires of the elite. This + economic distress is how they plan to overturn the current world system into the NWO.
ORDO AB CHAO. The Hegelian Dialectic.
All is working according to their plan. One step at a time. It’s not conspiracy. It’s obvious.
The use of photos from some previous event is something that news organizations do all the time, it in itself does not prove much on anything. I’ve seen photos of previous earthquakes mixed in with a current event. So does the mean the current event didn’t happen, no of course not it just means someone fucked up on keeping track of the photos or is cheating to make their job easier. Are some people dishonest and willing to take short cuts to make their job easier —- Oh no that never happens – Yeah right.
nkit has a point. You’re not going to prove anything one way or another by looking at photos or videos. If you’re already convinced that this was not only a false flag, but a staged show, you will look at any photo as proof that the event was staged. If the photo doesn’t show any blood and guts you see this as proof. If the photo does show blood and guts you say that the blood and guts look fake, more proof. If you believe that the event happened (whether or not it was a false flag) you’ll look at the photos as real (with the caveat that sometimes the mainstream media posts the wrong pictures). Proving that the event occurred has little to do with looking at and arguing about pictures and much more to do with listening to people who were there and researching data that proves or disproves that these people are who they say they are.
It’s really ok for the sheeple to believe the PTB programming. It may eventually provide the difference between living free and eternal slavery. I just am suprised how the most feeble minded of them attack logical people so severly. Like Stuck
“Couple of things…..First, dead corpses…..Can it be any more redundant?”
Yep, it’s like saying “queer fags”. More redundant would be “queer gay fags”.
“Cui bono? The Buddhist monks? Stray Zoroastrians? Hmm”
I know it. I hate when those Stray Zoroastrians come bustin’.
@Stucky: Hiroshima and Nagasaki were BOTH “False Flags” in that the American people were never told the truth about them.
1. Both attacks were unnecessary to end the war. Japan was ready to surrender before the bombs were dropped.
2. These two cities were chosen because they had escaped damage from the war, and the U.S. wanted to bomb real cities to measure the results of the bomb for military purposes. After all, this was a “new” weapon.
And for the record the U.S. is still the only country in the world to use atomic weapons. It was mass genocide since it killed mostly civilians, Men, Women, and Children, and not military targets.
Release of color photos of the aftermath were banned for over 50 years.

Do this one thing for me, study the photo gallery nkit put up at 1:35pm. Answer this question, why are most of them drill photos. (photos where people are wrapped in blankets uninjured, smiling etc. OR photos where streets are blocked off and emergency vehicles could not leave to transport the injured).
If these events are legit, why would you use drill photos. Why not actual photos taken on site in the wake of the event? There would be no reason to deceive.
Specie the Fecies …. still hasn’t written an interesting post. Keep trying. You can do it!!
Cui bono indeed.
How to disarm a country:
http://www.hiddenmysteries.org/conspiracy/conspiracy/parthur1.html
“Sunday 28th April 1996 at Port Arthur.
Most Australians are only vaguely aware of the events that occurred on this day. We have been told that a gunman armed with a Colt AR15 semi automatic rifle fired 29 rounds inside the Broad Arrow Café at Port Arthur, killing 20 and wounding another 12 of the approximately 60 people inside the café. It is also stated that the killer fired seventeen shots, killing twelve and wounding another five victims in the first fifteen seconds. Most of the dead were headshot, and the killer fired from the right hip, not from sighted shots.”
– This by a guy with a proven IQ of 66, with at least one firearm which had already been surrendered to police. The accused never stood trial.
Yet another senseless act of Terrorislam…
Bea, see figure 1.
And in case you don’t get the obscure programming reference:
1) Looking at pictures isn’t going to “prove” anything, so looking at pictures is a waste of my time.
2) I don’t really care if the Brussels event was a false flag, a staged show, the govt just ignored it and let it happen, or a few terrorists just happened to get really lucky. So looking at pictures trying to “prove” which it is is a waste of my time.
3) If I could figure out how to get these comments to do a fixed width font I’d show you “Figure 1”. http://www.dourish.com/goodies/see-figure-1.html
Honestly, does it really make a difference for us to know for sure what happened in Brussels? Is it worth spending hours staring at pictures when we only see what we want to see?
OK Araven, I’ll put you down for the “It’s all bullshit” vote. 🙂
BL thought you might be interested in this. First paragraph has a link to a video which is supposedly raw footage of one of the bombs going off. Is it real? I don’t have any idea and I don’t really care 🙂
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/7-strange-questions-about-the-brussels-terror-attacks-that-the-mainstream-media-is-not-asking
Araven- That is most likely the footage from Russia (2011). PCR was calling them out for using old footage in this Belgium event coverage. (read the comments)
Why would you use Russian footage when there were most likely 50 cameras to catch the blast as it happened?
(1) Use of old footage
(2) Use of drill photos
Why?
