« Why of course the people don’t want war … But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship … Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. » – Hermann Goering, Nazi leader.
« The easiest way to gain control of a population is to carry out acts of terror. [The public] will clamor for such laws if their personal security is threatened ». – Josef Stalin
There are many documented false flag attacks, where a government carries out a terror attack … and then falsely blames its enemy for political purposes. In the following 53 instances, officials in the government which carried out the attack (or seriously proposed an attack) admits to it, either orally or in writing:
(1) Japanese troops set off a small explosion on a train track in 1931, and falsely blamed it on China in order to justify an invasion of Manchuria. This is
known as the « Mukden Incident » or the « Manchurian Incident ». The Tokyo International Military Tribunal
found:
« Several of the participators in the plan, including Hashimoto [a high-ranking Japanese army officer], have on various occasions admitted their part in the plot and have stated that the object of the ‘Incident’ was to afford an excuse for the occupation of Manchuria by the Kwantung Army …. » And
see this.

(5) The Russian Parliament, current Russian president Putin and former Soviet leader Gorbachev all

(6)The British government admits that – between 1946 and 1948 – it bombed 5 ships carrying Jews attempting to flee the Holocaust to seek safety in Palestine, set up a fake group called « Defenders of Arab Palestine », and then had the psuedo-group falsely claim responsibility for the bombings (and see
this,
this and
this).
(7) Israel
admits that in 1954, an Israeli terrorist cell operating in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including U.S. diplomatic facilities, then left behind « evidence » implicating the Arabs as the culprits (one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to identify the bombers, and several of the Israelis later confessed) (and see
this and
this).
(8) The CIA
admits that it hired Iranians in the 1950′s to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its democratically-elected prime minister.

former head of Italian counterintelligence admit that NATO, with the help of the Pentagon and CIA,
carried out terror bombings in Italy and other European countries in the 1950s and blamed the communists, in order to rally people’s support for their governments in Europe in their fight against communism.
As one participant in this formerly-secret program stated: « You had to attack civilians, people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security » (and see
this) (Italy and other European countries subject to the terror campaign had joined NATO before the bombings occurred). And watch
this BBC special.

top Turkish general
admitted that Turkish forces burned down a mosque on Cyprus in the 1970s and blamed it on their enemy. He
explained: « In Special War, certain
acts of sabotage are staged and blamed on the enemy to increase public resistance. We did this on Cyprus; we even burnt down a mosque. » In response to the surprised correspondent’s incredulous look the general said, « I am giving an example ».
(30)The German government
admitted (and
see this) that, in 1978, the German secret service detonated a bomb in the outer wall of a prison and planted « escape tools » on a prisoner – a member of the Red Army Faction – which the secret service wished to frame the bombing on.
(31)
A Mossad agent admits that, in 1984, Mossad planted a radio transmitter in Gaddaffi’s compound in Tripoli, Libya which broadcast fake terrorist trasmissions recorded by Mossad, in order to frame Gaddaffi as a terrorist supporter. Ronald Reagan bombed Libya immediately thereafter.(32) The South African Truth and Reconciliation Council
found that, in 1989, the Civil Cooperation Bureau (a covert branch of the South African Defense Force) approached an explosives expert and asked him « to participate in an operation aimed at discrediting the ANC [the African National Congress] by bombing the police vehicle of the investigating officer into the murder incident », thus framing the ANC for the bombing.
(33)

(41) The U.S.
falsely blamed Iraq for playing a role in the 9/11 attacks – as shown by a
memo from the defense secretary – as one of the
main justifications for launching the Iraq war. Even after the 9/11 Commission
admitted that there was no connection, Dick Cheney
said that the evidence is « overwhelming » that al Qaeda had a relationship with Saddam Hussein’s regime, that Cheney « probably » had information unavailable to the Commission, and that the media was not ‘doing their homework’ in reporting such ties. Top U.S. government officials now
admit that the Iraq war was really launched for oil … not 9/11 or weapons of mass destruction. Despite previous « lone wolf » claims, many U.S. government officials now
say that 9/11 was state-sponsored terror; but Iraq was
not the state which backed the hijackers. (Many U.S. officials have
alleged that 9/11 was a false flag operation by rogue elements of the U.S. government.).

looked like). Government officials also confirm that the White House
tried to link the anthrax to Iraq as a justification for regime change in that country.
(43) Former Department of Justice lawyer John Yoo
suggested in 2005 that the US should go on the offensive against al-Qaeda, having « our intelligence agencies create a false terrorist organization. It could have its own websites, recruitment centers, training camps, and fundraising operations. It could launch fake terrorist operations and claim credit for real terrorist strikes, helping to sow confusion within al-Qaeda’s ranks, causing operatives to doubt others’ identities and to question the validity of communications. »
(44) United Press International
reported in June 2005:
U.S. intelligence officers are reporting that some of the insurgents in Iraq are using recent-model Beretta 92 pistols, but the pistols seem to have had their serial numbers erased. The numbers do not appear to have been physically removed; the pistols seem to have come off a production line without any serial numbers. Analysts suggest the lack of serial numbers indicates that the weapons were intended for intelligence operations or terrorist cells with substantial government backing. Analysts speculate that these guns are probably from either Mossad or the CIA. Analysts speculate that agent provocateurs may be using the untraceable weapons even as U.S. authorities use insurgent attacks against civilians as evidence of the illegitimacy of the resistance.

Britain’s spy agency has admitted (and see this) that it carries out « digital false flag » attacks on targets, framing people by writing offensive or unlawful material … and blaming it on the target. So Common … There’s a Name for It The use of the bully’s trick is so common that it was given a name hundreds of years ago. « False flag terrorism » is defined as a government attacking its own people, then blaming others in order to justify going to war against the people it blames. Or as Wikipedia
defines it:
False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one’s own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time; for example, during Italy’s strategy of tension.
The term comes from the old days of wooden ships, when one ship would hang the flag of its enemy before attacking another ship. Because the enemy’s flag, instead of the flag of the real country of the attacking ship, was hung, it was called a « false flag » attack. Indeed, this concept is so well-accepted that rules of engagement for naval, air and land warfare all prohibit false flag attacks. Leaders Throughout History Have Acknowledged False Flags Leaders throughout history have acknowledged the danger of false flags:
