The Prevalence of Engineered Deception Events

Planning for false-flag lethal conspiracies to kill innocent civilians was not unique to the JCS but has been widespread among other nations throughout the past century. A seminal example was in French Algeria in the 1950s, where dissident elements of the French armed forces, resisting General de Gaulle’s plans for Algerian independence, organized as the Secret Army Organization and bombed civilians indiscriminately, with targets including hospitals and schools.19 This strategy relied on the false-flag provocations by a special group of counterterrorists created by the French Direction de la surveillance du territoire (Territorial Surveillance Directorate), whose mission was to carry out terrorist attacks and frustrate hopes of political compromise.20

I have noted elsewhere how this “strategy of tension” was imitated by Secret Army Organization allies in Italy, with the false-flag lethal bombings by military intelligence of the Piazza Fontana in Milan (1969) and the Bologna Railway Station (1980). Guido Giannettini, one of the Italian authors of the Milan incident, allegedly lectured in 1961 on coup techniques to U.S. military officers in Annapolis.21 Soon after, in March 1962, the JCS prepared their own document developing Giannettini’s strategy—the Northwoods document, which, as James Bamford has written, “called for innocent people to be shot on American streets.”22

Similar attacks in Turkey gave rise to the notion there of an extralegal “deep state”—a combination of forces, ranging from former members of the CIA-supported Gladio organization to “a vast matrix of security and intelligence officials, ultranationalist members of the Turkish underworld and renegade former members of the [Kurdish separatist] PKK.”23 The deep state, financed in part by Turkey’s substantial heroin traffic, has been accused of killing thousands of civilians in incidents such as the lethal bomb attack in November 2005 on a bookshop in Semdinli. This attack, initially attributed to the Kurdish separatist PKK, turned out to have been committed by members of Turkey’s paramilitary police intelligence service, together with a former PKK member turned informer.24 On April 23, 2008, the former interior minister, Mehmet Agar, was ordered to stand trial for his role in this dirty war during the 1990s.25

In my book The Road to 9/11, I postulated that comparable forces in America, also combining intelligence officials with elements from the drug trafficking underworld, could have been ultimately responsible for the blatant official cover-up of 9/11, the deep event that was so swiftly followed by America’s invasion of Afghanistan.26 I also pointed to recent decades of collaboration between American agencies and al-Qaeda, a terrorist underworld whose drug trafficking activities have been played down in The 9/11 Commission Report and the mainstream U.S. media.27

Still to be explained is the suppressed anomalous fact that al-Qaeda’s top trainer on airplane hijackings, Ali Mohamed, was simultaneously a double agent reporting to the FBI and almost certainly still maintained a connection to the CIA, which had used him as an agent and helped bring him to this country in the 1980s.28 It is not disputed that Ali Mohamed organized the embassy bombing in Kenya and that he
