Despite the
attempt to marginalize the concept, “false flags” are so common that U.S.
officials frequentlyuse that
phrase.
For example, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson,
former chief of staff to Colin Powell:
Former Director for Transnational Threats on the U.S. National
Security Council, Roger Cressey:
Former CIA counterterrorism official Philip Mudd:
Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney, a
high ranking Air Force official:
Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations (and Neocon
warmonger) John Bolton:
The Washington Post notes that
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld approved as an acceptable interrogation
method
A technique known as “false flag,” or deceiving a
detainee into believing he is being interrogated by someone from another
country.
NBC News points out:
In another document taken
from the NSA by Snowden and obtained by NBC News, a JTRIG official said the
unit’s mission included computer network attacks, disruption, “Active Covert
Internet Operations,” and “Covert Technical Operations.” Among the methods
listed in the document were jamming phones, computers and email accounts and
masquerading as an enemy in a “false
flag” operation. The same document said GCHQ was
increasing its emphasis on using cyber tools to attack adversaries.
Washington’s
Blog asked high-level NSA official Bill Binney* if he had heard of the term
“false flags” when he was with the NSA.
Binney
responded:
Sure, they were under deception and manipulation programs.
I was not involved in doing them; but, I did have to figure out some that the
other side was doing. The other side called them “dezsinformatsiya” and
Manipulatsiya.”
The Brits have been doing this for several hundred years and are
quite good at it.
Washington’s
Blog asked Philip Giraldi – a former counter-terrorism specialist and military
intelligence officer with the CIA – the same question with regards to his experience
with the CIA.
Giraldi
responded:
Yes, of course. We did false flags, and called them that,
frequently in the operations directorate using false documentation to indicated
that we were nationals of a country that was not the United States. Almost every
CIA officer had false third country identification when operating overseas….
We followed up
by asking:
Is it fair to say some of the false flags were for the purpose
(i.e. premeditated) of blaming another country or group … not only just in case
caught?
Giraldi replied:
Sometimes if it were a covert action attempting to do just that
but more often just for cover reasons to make one appear to not be American…
Robert David Steele – a 20-year Marine Corps
infantry and intelligence officer, the second-ranking civilian in U.S. Marine
Corps Intelligence, and former CIA clandestine services case officer – said:
Most terrorists are false flag terrorists or are created by our
own security services.
***
In the United States, every single terrorist incident we have
had has been a false flag, or has been an informant pushed on by the FBI.
Steele has
repeatedly and publicly said (and also confirmed to Washington’s Blog) that he
personally carried out a “false flag” attack while working as a U.S.
intelligence officer.
Indeed, false flags are so common that there are official rules of
engagement prohibiting false flags in naval, air and land warfare.
* William Binney
is the highest-level NSA whistleblower in history. Binney is the NSA executive
who created the agency’s mass surveillance program for digital information, who
served as the senior technical director within the agency, who managed six
thousand NSA employees, the 36-year NSA veteran widely regarded as a “legend”
within the agency and the NSA’s best-ever analyst and code-breaker, who mapped
out the Soviet command-and-control structure before anyone else knew how, and
so predicted Soviet invasions before they happened (“in the 1970s, he decrypted
the Soviet Union’s command system, which provided the US and its allies with
real-time surveillance of all Soviet troop movements and Russian atomic
weapons”).
