Once restricted merely to conspiracy circles, the term “false flag attack”
became part of the popular lexicon during the recent Syrian chemical
weapons debacle. Former Representative Ron Paul (R-Tex) referred to
allegations that the Syrian government had used sarin gas as a false
flag
before adding,
“The group most likely to benefit from it is al Qaeda.” But even though
Muslim revolutionaries were most likely involved in the use of chemical
weapons, the source of these heinous attacks can be traced to familiar
players.
Four months earlier, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, Secretary of State Colin
Powell’s right-hand man during his term in the Bush
administration, spoke of an earlier chemical attack in Syria.
“This could have been an Israeli false flag operation,”
he said
.
“You’ve got basically a geo-strategically, geo-political — if you will —
inept regime in Tel Aviv right now.” Wilkerson is known for calling
intelligence on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction in October 2005 a
“hoax.”
In regard to Syria, respected ex-Central Intelligence Agency (
CIA)
analyst Ray McGovern averred that so-called evidence presented by the
Obama administration “would not stand up in a court of law.” According
to McGovern, despite Israel’s attempts at perpetual instability in the
Middle East, saner heads prevailed via our military’s top brass.
