Exactly two months ago we reported that as Europe’s biggest refugees crisis since World War II was getting worse with each passing day, suddenly Europe was flooded with reports of “ISIS Terrorists” posing as refugees.

What we said we disturbingly prophetic when looking at the immediate consequences of Europe’s “infiltration” by the CIA-crated fighters meant to overthrow Assad’s regime, also known as ISIS. Specifically, we said “focus on the propaganda, [which] is in full crisis mode: A recent article in the UK Express Daily claimed that IS “smuggled thousands of covert jihadists into Europe.” It cited a January BuzzFeed interview with an IS operative who said the militants have already sent some 4,000 fighters into Europe under guise of refugees.   Continue reading “Passport Found Next To Paris Suicide Bomber Belongs To Syrian “Political Refugee” Who Entered Greece”

As France finds itself in the grips of martial law and its first mandatory curfew since it was occupied by the Nazis in 1944, there exists a number of questionable details surrounding the recent terrorist attacks in Paris.

Only hours after the first shots were fired, stories and reports are beginning to change and contradict one another. Considering the history of the French government, French Intelligence agencies and the Anglo-American/NATO Intelligence apparatus, particularly the recent events surrounding the Charlie Hebdo attacks that were exposed as false flags, one would be justified in wondering whether or not these recent attacks in Paris were of the same variety.   Continue reading “9 Reasons To Question The Paris Terror Attacks”

In 1950, Senator Pat McCarran said to me, “If the American people ever find out what the Jews are doing to them, they won’t leave a Jew alive from coast to coast.” An official of the American Jewish Congress said “We must never lose sight of the fact that the only thing preventing pogroms in the United States today is our watchful control over the channels of communication.” And in 1977 a Jewish columnist wrote, “We have been overthrown by the television show Roots, as many whites have been inculcated with feelings of shame, fear and guilt by this revelation of black history. This should warn us that we are sitting on a powder keg, if unfriendly elements should be allowed the chance to present the Jews in an unfavourable light on television. The success of Roots must reinforce our determination to deny native fascist elements any and all opportunities to use the media to spread their poison to impressionable Americans.”   Continue reading “Boycott – The Jewish Weapon”
