Though at present all indications are that every single attacker in Friday’s Paris attacks was a European national with a passport from an EU member nation, the discovery of a Syrian passport at one of the sites fueled a lot of anti-refugee backlash across the world, including a flurry of US governors seeking to crack down on Syrian refugees.
According to German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere, this probably wasn’t an accident, and rather the passport was likely a false flag operation meant to fuel fear of the refugees. It appears to have worked.
The passport belongs to Ahmad al-Mohammad, or at least that’s what it says. It is believed to be a forgery, though possibly also simply stolen. The man in question is a soldier loyal to the Assad government, and not a refugee.
The passport registration puts the fictional refugee through the primary Balkan route used by over 800,000 refugees to escape the war, and officials say it appears to be deliberately crafted to appear to be a common refugee, linking this non-existent attacker to everyone else who fled the war.
Since then, anti-refugee politicians have been presenting the narrative of a refugee terrorist as an unquestioned fact. The ISIS attempt to demonize refugees didn’t need to be convincing, it seems, to be lapped up by eager officials looking to stem the tide.
Guess I have to ask if that result is especially an 'ISIS' interest?
As PCR says, who benefits from this? The French and British establishments that are likely to be defeated in future elections.
Kudos to de Maiziere for speaking the truth.
Strange how these (terrorists) have a habit of leaving their passports behind.
Remember Mohamed Atta, the box-cutter wielding boogeyman (terrorist) who
supposedly hijacked United Airlines flight 11 and slammed it into the North
Tower of the WTC?
John Ashcroft, former Bush regime Attorney General with a caveman's IQ, told
(us) masses Mohamed Atta's passport was found in pristine condition, on a
sidewalk two blocks from Ground Zero. 'White Man speaks with forked tongue'
There's a difference between "may" (De Mazieres word, according to the article linked to) and "was likely". If it was a false flag operation, it has been a huge success and may well precipitate Merkel's fall. Her "come to Mama Merkel" policy is opposed by almost all the other EU Member State. Even Sweden, initially favourable, has now backed off. And that's to say nothing of opposition within Germany itself, including just about everybody in Merkel's party, not least De Maziere himself, who made the rules much more restrictive without even telling Merkel. De Maziere may well see himself as Merkel's successor and is trying to draw maximum attention to himself.
'False flag' or not, importing 10s of thousands of ME 'refugees' – most of whom are military-aged young men with a big chip on their shoulders – into Western countries is sheer lunacy. Germany is being overrun, Sweden is the rape capital of the world – thanks to these imports. Stop the ME wars, and shut down the pipeline.
