Was Orlando Shooting a False Flag?
Shooter Has Ties To FBI, Regular At Club, Did Not Act Alone?
NB Commentary: It is truly unfortunate and
very, very sad that these events are happening with such frequency. People are
losing their lives and folks are mourning their dead relatives and friends. My condolences go out to anyone who is mourning a loss of a love one due to this tragedy. Iba Ye.
One of the things
that sticks out in my mind is the total silence by mainstream of the US and its
allies complicity in creating these so-called terrorists, here and abroad. ISIS, Al-Qaeda are all products of the US. It
is unbelievable to me that the PTB would think there would be no proverbial "blowback"
for their hegemony around the world.
Statements made by
high officials like "Bomb them back to the stone age" are grievance
and narcissistic rants that seem to carry no concept of the consequence as far as these war
mongers are concerned. It could be stated that since they are not on the front
lines, or behind the monitors where the drones are launched, they don't see the
carnage and therefore are exempt from empathy? Or are they simply psychopaths?
But, on the other hand the moment something happens here, in the US, we get superlatives like, "deadliest mass murder in U.S. history" which is patently false. We look at how these mouth pieces can parrot this narrative ad nauseum yet pay no attention to the pain, sorrow and grief that is happening in their name overseas.
This
disconnect is not simply a matter of cognitive dissonance it's criminal.
The fear and saber
rattling cry of "they are gonna take our guns" is so laughable at
this point, especially since it has been shown over and over again, that
immediately after the drum beat starts for taking folks guns, which has
happened after all of these "events", real, contrived, or a
combination of both; folks go out and buy more guns. It makes you wonder if the
gun manufacturers are staging these events to boost their gun sales.
(Spoiler Alert - Snarky Comment Follows)
Two things, agenda
of American exceptionalism. & Gun control, which only means keeping it away
from the law abiding.... criminals get guns and continue to get guns... all
they gotta do is join ISIS and they will have plenty of guns, women and drugs and
oil, just saying. I always say, what kind of policy takes guns from Americans
and gives them to the so called "rebels' in foreign lands. DON'T ANSWER
THAT, ask Killery instead.
They are trying to
tie him into Islamic extremist and the other guy who killed that singer, Christina Grimmie, is just
a whack job. They also said he had to be well trained to kill that many people
at one time. Who trained him? Now, false flags
have real casualties. Not that they didn't in the past, but they are doing it
for real this time. Like Oswald said, "I'm just a patsy."
What concerns me
most is the short sightedness that comes over the masses when an event such as
what happened in Orlando hits the world stage. It's as if each event cause a
sort of amnesia and folks forget every single thing that preceded it. How is
that possible when they exact same protocols are used over and over again? Of
course, the shock and awe effect of these events could certainly knock even the
most centered individual off their square, but when the events carry the same
exact scenario it would seem to trigger some cognition or replay of past events
in the minds of the masses.
I felt that
something was going to occur. I had just finished some work on my computer and
was preparing to retire when a familiar dizzy feeling came over me along with a
vibration in my ears. I spoke outloud to myself, what's gonna happen now.
Interestingly enough, I didn't hear about this event for at least 24 hours
later. The feeling hasn't left me and I am not sure if it is because of the
mourning and disbelief, or if something else will happen in the not too distant
future. I don't make predictions, there are too many variables that can change
things, but I do pay attention to my body as it responds to the change of
frequency in our environment.
We must also be
aware that all of this is part of a larger plan of social engineering and
distraction and innumerable other scenarios that are going on in our world
today. It can't be ignored that death has been the running theme for 2016 thus
far. The masses tend to pay more attention when the individual who makes
transition is a "celebrity" but what folks sometimes miss, is the
bigger the individual the larger the loss, and more follow. My Mom used to say,
death comes in threes, but it seems it must be multiples upon multiples of
threes at the rate things are going.
And then there's the kevlar helmet.
I feel a deep sense
of sadness for those who have lost their loved ones in this horrendous act. It
is appalling that an agenda would be initiated irrespective of the victims and
their families. We live in a very distressful time and while folks are talking
about the stock market, celebrity deaths, chemtrails, GMO's, trans-humanism,
media propaganda, Illuminati, the value of money, the political charade….. What
is most important, "the sanctity of life on this planet," has taken a
seat way in the back. These theatrics
are covering our planet with the energy of suffering, pain, injustice, sadness
and a word I seldom use "evil". When human beings can be a party to
the destruction of the planet they live on and the life forms that inhabit it,
can we call them anything else but evil?
As mainstream media
organizations continue to be afire with reports regarding the recent Orlando
shooting, a number of details are escaping the public consciousness that might
point to an even more sinister motivation for the killing of 50 innocent people
at the Pulse nightclub. Most notably, that the attack could very well have been
orchestrated by the FBI and other relevant U.S. intelligence agencies in order
to guide public opinion, galvanize the American people, and for other
“political” purposes.
Indeed, in my
article
“5 Reasons To Question The Official Story Of The Orlando Shooting,” I
listed a number of questionable aspects regarding the shooting such as the fact
that the FBI was well aware of Omar Mateen, his ideology, and his potential
violence years before the attack yet did nothing, as well as the fact that this
father is a Taliban-supporting TV host from Afghanistan. I also pointed out
that Mateen himself had connections to a known ISIS recruiter and suicide
bomber. In addition, I discussed the FBI’s history in relation to creating
terrorist attacks in order to “bust” them and subsequently take the credit for
stopping terrorist attacks.
FBI Foreknowledge,
ISIS Sympathies, Taliban Ties
What may at first
sound like an instance of senseless violence brings with it a number of other
questions. For instance, the FBI was already well aware of Mateen and his
connections to radical jihad and terrorism. According to CNN’s article,
“50 Killed in Florida Nightclub, Shooter Pledged ISIS Allegiance,” two officials tell CNN that the FBI had investigated Mateen at some point for possibly having
ties to or sympathizing with Islamic extremism. A law enforcement official said
there were two cases opened involving Mateen but the probes didn't result in
enough evidence to charge him with anything.
The investigations
were reported by a number of mainstream media organizations and later confirmed
by the FBI itself during a press conference. The FBI admitted that Mateen had
been interviewed by agents twice in 2013 due to comments made about radical jihad
which were overheard by coworkers. He was interviewed for a third time one year
later due to his connection to Moner Mohammad Abu Salha, an American who had
traveled from Florida to train in Syria and later to return to the United
States in order to recruit other Americans to fight in the Western-backed
terrorist brigades attempting to overthrow secular and legitimate government,
Bashar Al Assad.
Salha allegedly
returned to Syria and blew himself up in a suicide bombing. It is also
interesting to note that Mateen’s father Seddique Mateen is a political
personality in his own right having hosted a TV show and apparently declared
himself a
presidential candidate for Afghanistan. Seddique has denounced the
Pakistani government and expressed support and encouragement for the Taliban
movement.
Still, the question
regarding the fact that Mateen was on the FBI’s radar is extremely important.
One key aspect suggesting a false flag that should be looked for soon after the
attack is any
possible connection the suspect or group of suspects may have had
with intelligence agencies. A connection to any one of these organizations and
institutions may go some length in explaining how the attack was coordinated,
the motivation of the perpetrators, the actual involvement (or not) of the
suspects, and who actually directed the operation. For instance, on 9/11, many
of the alleged hijackers had previously had close contact with the FBI, CIA,
and other high-level intelligence agencies (both home and abroad). Likewise,
the
Tsarnaev brothers who have been accused of masterminding and carrying out
the Boston Bombing
had ties to the FBI before the attack..
In many instances,
connections to certain military agencies and communities should serve as the
same red flag as connections to intelligence agencies since these institutions
have largely been blended together.
The Presence Of FBI
“Informants”
The FBI did much
more than simply “investigate” Mateen – they introduced him to “informants” as
well. According to the New York Daily News in the article, “FBI spied on
Orlando gay club terrorist Omar Mateen for 10 months in 2013: FBI Director
James Comey,”
Mateen first
appeared on authorities’ radar in 2013 after the security guard’s colleagues
alerted the “FBI spied on Orlando gay club terrorist Omar Mateen for 10 months in 2013: FBI Director James Comey,”
Mateen also told
coworkers he had a family member who belonged to Hezbollah, a Shia network that
is a bitter enemy of ISIS — the network he pledged allegiance to the night of
the carnage, Comey noted.
The FBI’s Miami
office opened an inquiry into Mateen.
“He said he hoped
that law enforcement would raid his apartment and assault his wife and child so
he could martyr himself,” Comey said.
Nevertheless, FBI
investigators investigated Mateen, who was born in New York, for 10 months.
They introduced him to confidential informants, spied on his communications and
followed him. They also interviewed him twice.
Connections To Known
Terrorists, FBI Informants, CIA Assets
Mateen was not only
connected to Mohammed Abu Salha, he also maintained ties with Marcus Dwayne
Robertson, a notoriously violent radical Muslim/CIA Asset.
Robertson, who is
also known as Abu Taubah to his thousands of followers, converted at least 36
people to his version of Islam while he was imprisoned for four years in jail.
Early Sunday
authorities brought Robertson, who was living in Florida, along with several
other associates in for questioning.
According to Fox
News, a law enforcement source said: ‘It is no coincidence that this happened
in Orlando. Mateen was enrolled in (Robertson’s online) Fundamental Islamic
Knowledge Seminary.’
Police believe that
Robertson’s Timbuktu Seminary is used to dispense his radical teachings,
sources told Fox News.
Robertson, who was a
former US Marine and undercover FBI agent before turning into a radical Imam,
was released from prison last year despite warning from officials and
prosecutors that he would recruit people to carry out horrendous acts of
violence.
He was considered so
dangerous that he was kept shackled with his own security detail away from
other inmates.
Whenever he was
transported to court, authorities had a seven-car caravan of armed federal
marshals escort him.
He was eventually
moved to solitary confinement after prison officials discovered that he was
trying to radicalize his fellow inmates.
After serving as a
Marine for six years, Robertson, 47, went on to become a bank robber, before
turning FBI informant after his arrest in exchange for a short prison sentence.
He was dismissed by
the FBI in 2007 after allegedly attacking his CIA handler, and then began
preaching Islamic extremism.
He was thrown in
jail for tax fraud back in 2011, prosecutors attempted to have ten years added
to his sentence last year after discovering documents preaching terror among
his possessions. However, a judge released him.
Robertson has openly
preached against homosexuality, as wiretaps from 2011 proved that he instructed
one of his students to file fake tax returns to get a refund to pay for travel
to Mauritania for terror training.
According to Fox
News, federal law enforcement officials have been familiar with Robertson since
as early as 1991.
Robertson became the
leader of a New York gang known as ‘Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves’ and robbed
more than 10 banks, private homes and post offices at gunpoint.
They shot three
police officers and also attacked an officer after he suffered injuries from a
homemade pipe bomb.
In that same period,
authorities claimed that Robertson, who was known as ‘Ali Baba,’ also ‘served
as a bodyguard to Omar Abdel Rahman, who led the terrorist group that carried
out the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center,’ Fox News reported.
When he was arrested
in 1991 he cut a deal with prosecutors who let him serve four years in prison
before he went to work undercover for the FBI in 2004 to document terrorists’
plans in Africa and the United States.
Thus, the best
efforts of the FBI, CIA, and their media mouthpieces are to attempt to convince
readers that Robertson was a legitimate radical Muslim (aside from his ties to
the U.S. military, FBI, and CIA) but that he was simply too much of a loose
cannon to be used as an informant and was therefore cut loose from the program.
This claim would actually mean two things: First, Robertson may have been a
loose cannon but he was still willing to work as an informant. Secondly,
despite his being known as a radical jihadist with a notorious criminal
history, he was released from prison on numerous occasions having served less
time than many with simple drug offenses to their names. In reality, however,
the story purporting to show Robertson as a legitimate terrorist are most cover
for what was and still is a CIA/FBI asset.
It should also be
noted that Robertson was known to have acted as the bodyguard for Omar Abdel
Rahman, the alleged leader of the terrorist group that carried out the World
Trade Center bombing in 1993, another “sting” operation that resulted in a
terrorist attack going live.
The FBI History Of
Creating Terrorist Attacks
For some time
Tony Cartalucci of Land Destroyerhas been painstakingly
documenting instances of
the FBI organized, arming, funding, and directing domestic terror attacks only
to foil those attacks later and claim success in preventing terror attacks on American
soil as well as the possibility that many of these attacks simply do not get
foiled but are allowed to take place for political purposes.
Among the activities
these informants carry out includes providing and training suspects in the use
of real explosives, providing suspects with arsenals of weapons precisely like
those used in the recent shooting in Orlando Florida, and encouraging suspects
to adopt “radical ideology” over the course of the investigation. Suspects are
given the false impression that they are working on behalf of terrorist
organizations like Al Qaeda or the self-proclaimed “Islamic State,” often
cultivating delusions of grandeur among otherwise mentally ill suspects.
The Intercept in its
recent article, “Before Nightclub Shooting, FBI Pursued Questionable Florida “Terror” Suspects,”would note that the FBI’s Miami office who investigated
Mateen, has been “among the bureau’s most active and aggressive
counterterrorism units.”
It would also report
on the specifics of this unit’s activities:
For more than a year
ending in April — a time during which investigators will now be looking for any
clues from Mateen that might have been missed — the FBI in Miami focused on a
counterterrorism sting that targeted James Medina, a homeless man with mental
problems.
The Intercept would
reveal that the FBI informant, not Medina, came up with the idea of crediting
the planned attack to the “Islamic State.” In fact, upon reading the FBI’s affidavit (.pdf), , it is clear the FBI’s informant encouraged and walked Medina
through every aspect of the planned attack, including providing him with what
he thought was an explosive device.
Upon reading
Medina’s incoherent conversations with various FBI informants, it is clear he
possessed neither the mental or technical capacity on his own to perpetrate the
attacks he was arrested for.
The Intercept would
continue:
Nearly a year before
Medina’s arrest, the FBI’s Miami office arrested another supposed terrorist,
23-year-old Cuban-American Harlem Suarez, also known as Almlak Benitez, whom
former co-workers described as “a little slow.” The government alleged that Suarez
conspired with an FBI informant to bomb a beach in Key West in support of the
Islamic State. The FBI provided a fake backpack bomb.
Finally, the
Intercept would reveal:
The Orlando shooting
isn’t the first case to raise this question. In 2011, when the FBI investigated
Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, agents did not deem him a threat.
Instead, at about
the same time, the Boston FBI started a nine-month sting operation against
Rezwan Ferdaus, who had no weapons and no connections to international
terrorists, and whose mental wellness had deteriorated so much that he was
wearing adult diapers at the time of his arrest on terrorism charges.
Rezwan Ferdaus, like
Medina, was provided assistance by the FBI every step of the way, including
being provided 24 lbs of C4 explosives, 6 fully automatic AK47 rifles, and 3
grenades – the FBI’s own affidavit reveals (.pdf) He was brought deep into a fictional world where he believed he was working directly with Al Qaeda for
nearly a year – told that “detonation devices” he constructed and passed on to
FBI informants were “used” in Iraq to “kill” American soldiers.
The FBI’s informants
conduct similar practices in virtually all of their investigations.
In 2010, the FBI
investigated naturalized US citizen and Oregon resident Mohamed Osman Mohamud.
In their own official statement titled, Oregon Resident Arrested in Plot to Bomb Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in Portland,” released by the U.S.
Attorney’s Office on November 26, 2010 it was stated :
According to the
affidavit, on November 4, 2010, Mohamud and the undercover FBI operatives
traveled to a remote location in Lincoln County, Ore., where they detonated a
bomb concealed in a backpack as a trial run for the upcoming attack.
The FBI in February
2012 provided another suspect with live explosives in the lead up to what was
ultimately a foiled suicide bombing planned with the help of FBI informants at
the US Capitol.
USA Today reported
in their article, “FBI foils alleged suicide bomb attack on U.S. Capitol,” that
:
According to a
counterterrorism official, El Khalifi “expressed interest in killing at least
30 people and considered targeting a building in Alexandria and a restaurant,
synagogue and a place where military personnel gather in Washington before he
settled on the Capitol after canvassing that area a couple of times,” the
Associated Press writes. During the year-long investigation, El Khalifi
detonated explosives at a quarry in the capital region with undercover
operatives. He is not believed to be affiliated with al-Qaeda, officials said.
Considering the
disturbing activities conducted by FBI informants during these
“investigations,” the FBI appears obligated to tell the American public just
what their “informants” were doing with Florida shooting suspect Omar Mateen in
the 10 months they were “investigating” him beginning in 2013.
Did they also walk
Mateen through planned attacks he ultimately backed out of? Did he eventually
change his mind again after the FBI’s investigation was allegedly closed?
The American media
and US elected representatives have an obligation to ask these questions,
obtain this information from the FBI, and to reevaluate the FBI’s means and
methods of investigating potential suspects through what is clearly a dangerous
process of entrapment, indoctrination, and deceit.
Was Mateen Being
Handled By The FBI?
In addition to the
“investigations” being conducted by the FBI into Mateen’s conduct, there is the
very real possibility that Mateen himself was being handled and/or lulled into
radical jihad, culminating in the very attack that took place in Orlando.
The homophobic
maniac who murdered 49 people inside Orlando’s gay-friendly nightclub Pulse
Sunday morning had been hanging out there for three years and chatted with men
via online dating services like Grindr, said multiple witnesses who claimed to
have firsthand knowledge of Mateen’s habits.
. . . . .
Mateen, who had
married again, this time to Noor Salman who bore him a son, also visited Pulse
several times over the past three years, according to club patrons.
One couple, who work
together as drag-dancing performers, said they’d seen Mateen as many as a dozen
times at Pulse.
Ty Smith and Chris
Callen also said they’d seen him escorted drunk from the club more than once.
. . . . .
“I’ve seen him a
couple of times at Pulse, a couple of other people that I’ve spoken with,
including an-ex security guard, have actually witnessed this guy at Pulse many
times before,” said Callen, who performs as Kristina McLauglin.
“One friend was a
security guard there two years ago and she remembers him,” Callen told the
Daily News.
He estimates Mateen
began showing up about three years ago. Everybody was blown away to realize he
was the man responsible for the slaughter.
“It’s shocking to
everyone because we saw him there before,” said Callen.
He said one night
Mateen got angry about a religious joke and pulled a knife on a friend. But it
was nothing the friend couldn’t handle, Callen said.
The performer
recalled his first words with Mateen three years ago.
“He was a nice guy,”
he said of the shooter. “He was at the bar. He was actually talking with
another guy. I turned around. I was in drag. I said hello. He seemed
comfortable,” Callen said.
“As I was onstage he
was standing next to somebody, having a conversation, having a good time close
to the stage. Later on that night … he was out there dancing with another guy.
It could be he just went crazy. Maybe he got radicalized and hated who he was,”
Callen said.
Interestingly
enough, if Mateen began frequenting Pulse around three years ago (2013) that
would put his first foray into being a regular at the club around the same time
as his first “investigation” at the hands of the FBI.
Was Mateen
blackmailed into terror for his sexuality? Was he recruited, radicalized, and
facilitated by U.S. intelligence and his regular visits to Pulse merely an act
of casing the joint? Did he think he was part of a drill? Did he believe he was
really fighting jihad?
It has been admitted
that Mateen was “introduced to informants” around this time. So what did they
tell him? What did they do with him? The answers to these questions will likely
never be known but what is known is that the FBI keeps records of these types
of things, so the organization has some serious explaining to do regardless.
More Than One
Shooter
Despite mainstream
news organizations’ attempts to minimize victims’ reports of more than one
perpetrator in the Orlando shooting, authorities are now being forced to
acknowledge the possibility that Mateen did not act alone.
According to WSB-TV in Atlanta,
Channel 2’s sister
station in Orlando, WFTV, is reporting that they expect an arrest in connection
to the Orlando nightclub shooting that left 50 dead, including the shooter.
A top law
enforcement source told WFTV an arrest, elsewhere in Florida, is expected of an
alleged accomplice.
Janiel Gonzalez, who
was in the club on the night of the shooting, seems to think there must have
been more than one perpetrator. In an interview with the Palm Beach Post, he
recounted a second man holding the door shut and keeping everyone inside. Interestingly
enough, it was on the side of the club that the shooter virtually ignored
during his rampage.
As Palm Beach Post reports,
“I remember telling
myself, ‘This is not how I die,’’’ Gonzalez, 26, said.
“When I dropped to
the floor and saw people crying and covered in blood. The scent of the
ammunition and bullets, I was like ‘This is real life. This is happening right
now.’”
He said he never saw
the gunman, who was in an adjacent room about 20 feet away. He said he thought
the initial burst of gunfire lasted eight or nine minutes.
“He kept on shooting
and shooting and shooting, rapid fire,’’ Gonzalez said, “and he’d change
(clips), put in more ammunition — bud-dudda. I could smell the ammo in the
air.’’
He said he heard
another gun from a different direction, so he wonders if there were two gunmen.
“Everybody dropped
to the floor. We were trying to look for an exit. But the main exit was right
next to the entrance where the shooter was shooting,’’ he said.
“In a moment of
desperation we were all crawling on the floor trying to find a place to exit. I
looked to my right and I could see people going through some curtains. We were
digging through the curtains and found a door.’’
But he said the door
was blocked by a man. He wasn’t sure if it was a club security person or an
accomplice to the gunmen.
“Fifty people were
trying to jump over each other trying to exit the place. There was a guy
holding the door and not letting us exit. He’s like ‘Stay inside, stay inside.’
As he is saying that, the shooter keeps getting closer and closer and the sound
of the bullets is getting closer. Everyone starts to panic. People are getting
trampled. Let us out, let us out!’’’
Gonzalez’ first
thought was that it was a hate crime. “This guy is trying to prevent us from
leaving. Maybe they’re working together,’’ he said.
Gonzalez said he
feel lucky because he hung out on the left side of the club, while the gunman
concentrated fire on the right side.
“When you enter the
club, there’s a right wing and a left wing. The shooter entered and went
straight to the right. He never came to the left (side), which is the hiphop
room where the majority of my friends were. Everybody in the right (wing) room
got injured.’’
“I’m pretty sure it
was more than one person. I heard two guns going at the same time. It was very,
very crazy.’’
The Security Firm
Despite all of the
“investigations” into Mateen’s ideology and his connections with known
terrorists, he was still able to gain not only a gun (the point of focus by the
anti-gun left) but a security clearance as part of his job. But the most
interesting aspect of
Mateen’s employmentwas that he worked for G4S Secure
Solutions, one of the largest security firms in the United States and formerly
known as Wackenhut. The company is
notorious for its connections to the FBI,
CIA, military industrial complex, and the “shadow government” apparatus itself.
Not only does
Wackenhut/G4S boast of a board that reads like a list of some of the most
powerful intelligence players in the country, but it has been closely involved
in surveillance, espionage, and innumerable clandestine operations. The
organization essentially has a revolving door with the CIA and functions as
just another wing of the intelligence community.
Conclusion
While the right-wing
media blames Muslims and the left-wing media blame guns, perhaps it would be
more effective if thinking individuals would examine the possibilities that
this attack was a false flag incident designed to push an agenda that would
benefit those in power in some way or other. Out of this attack we will no
doubt see another push for the evisceration of the Second Amendment and other
civil liberties as well as increased hype regarding ISIS as a threat to the
American way of life and a greater attempt at justification for foreign
adventures.
While the
information presented above may not be enough evidence to prove in the court of
law that the Orlando attack was a false flag attack, it is, without a doubt,
reason enough to question the official story thus far and is highly suggestive
of the possibility that the largest mass shooting in U.S. history was indeed a
false flag attack engineered and directed by elements in the U.S. government
intelligence community.
If the attack is
attributed to a lone jihadist nut the FBI has some serious explaining to do
since it appears that the agency itself is the greatest initiator of terrorist
activity inside American borders and is either the most incompetent anti-terror
fighter in the U.S. or it is complicit in the attacks that continue to take
place.
