The World Needs to Know What Really Happened Last November (Paris Attack)

Important questions linger about what went down in Paris

If the November attacks on Paris have the fingerprints of a foreign intelligence service on them, mimicking the DRS relationship with GIA, where dimwitted jihadists don’t realize they are being set up, the list of potential suspects presents itself at once. It’s long been understood by Western security services that ISIS and the Syrian regime are partners as well as enemies. Both seek to crush moderates, to make the struggle for Syria binary: Regime versus ISIS. Assad’s secret police, the cold-blooded mukhabarat, have penetrated Islamist groups with their agents for decades, and evidence of the regime’s manipulation of ISIS mounts by the day.

This is all reminiscent of Algeria in the 1990s, when regime dissidents and defectors explained what the DRS was really doing, only to be met with brusque dismissals from Western experts, who found the notion fanciful, even absurd. It is relevant to note that both Algerian and Syrian intelligence were trained by the KGB, which made this sort of dangerous provocation a staple of their espionage routine

It would not be surprising at all. Any attempt to dismiss the possibility is just Russian/Syrian/Iranian propaganda.

It’s da jews.

I’d say there are multiple players and culprits, overall. The Iranian regime and Russians maybe the obvious ones.

Only a few will or already know what really happened.

But, other facts known to the public are that the jihadis shooting people at the concert hall spoke perfect French without a foreign accent (based on eye witnesses who survived the attack), were very calm and took their time reloading their rifles, until the police arrived some 20 or 30 minutes later.

Who knows and time will tell. But these coordinated type attacks more often than not have ‘inside help’.

Additional info in the public domain:

New documents obtained by Sky News revealed that the Syrian government’s recapture of the ancient city of Palmyra from Islamic State militants was apparently part of a pre-arranged deal that allowed ISIS to remove its heavy weaponry from the city before withdrawing.

Oh yeah, that’s real credible. From the same guys who produced the fake chemical attack to try to drag the US military into a full scale invasion. Someone should check for Elizabeth O’Bagy’s handwriting.

Can’t believe anybody buys that stuff. Were you born yesterday?

That really doesn’t surprise me. Though the Russians are quite strict in detaining people like him or at least restricting or monitoring their movement inside Russia at least if/when they are found out. I suspect there are many of them in Russia since Russian Federation has those *predominantly* muslim republic regions too. The link says he is convert to Islam and entered Turkey via Sarp border gate (Georgia/Turkey?).

Equally suspect there are many isis affiliated members inside Turkey itself, and/or using Turkey to transit to Syria or Iraq. Given Russo-Turkish shaky relations nowadays, his detainment has publicity value for the Turks as well. But, Turkey should also focus on its own citizens too, those who are affiliated with isis or similar.
