Wiki CommonsTwo different reports confirm mass shooting simulation on day of attacksBy Alex Thomas (INTELLIHUB) — Over the years alternative media researchers have documented the key fact that during many high-profile terror attacks, including 9/11 and 7/7, authorities themselves were running simulated attack drills at or near the exact time of the actual attacks. This fact has become a sort of litmus test for independent researchers when attempting to determine if an act of terror being blamed on outside terrorists was actually a false flag attack carried out by the very people tasked with responding to it. Now, a new report from Bloomberg, along with a previously reported ...

Kuwaiti authorities have arrested two Australians as part of an extremist network that supplied funds and weapons, including rockets, to Islamic State militants, state news agency KUNA quoted the Interior Ministry as saying on Thursday. The cell’s chief, who was not named, confessed that he raised funds and provided logistical support for the group, which has carried out deadly attacks in Lebanon and France in the past week, the ministry said. “[Khayat] was in continuous contact with ISIS leadership in Syria, and confessed to printing stamps and designing seals bearing the logo of ISIS, and transferring sums of money to accounts in Turkey and Syria”, the statement said. ...

As I pointed out in my new Taki’s column, “Four Ways to Save Europe,” when ¡Jeb¡ mildly suggested that American refugee efforts for Middle Easterners should be focused more on the Christians who are being slaughtered than on the Muslims doing the slaughtering, our former Muslim child President was appalled: “When I heard political leaders suggest that there would be a religious test for which a person who’s fleeing a warn-torn [sic] country is admitted… that’s shameful,” Obama said, growing visibly heated. “That’s not ...

Two former US Air Force drone operators have come forward for the first time to denounce the country’s UAV program, saying it has aided the growth of the terrorist organisation ISIS. Speaking at a press conference live streamed from New York, the two former drone pilots turned whistleblowers Stephen Lewis and Cian Westmoreland expressed deep concerns about the program and the impact it was having on people in the targeted regions. “There’s always the off-chance that you could end up targeting someone that’s completely innocent, and that’s usually confirmed as an enemy kill,” said Westmoreland. “Those enemies aren’t always enemies.

The Bataclan Theater--the pixelated sections are dead bodies, who not killed by either Frenchmen or Belgians, but Arabs. New York Times, Monday, Nov. 16, 2015: “BRUSSELS—The French authorities have concluded that Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a 27-year-old Belgian man who has fought in Syria for the Islamic State, was the mastermind of the Paris terrorist attacks.” Franco-Belgian yet cosmopolitan in culture, Abaaoud’s great-grandfather, Anselmus Aaster, opened the first chocolate shop on the Rue des Bouchers, Brussels. Abaaoud claimed to be a distant relation of the 17th-century Baroque artist, Philippe de Champaigne, who painted Cardinal Richelieu eleven times … Give me ...
Britain hit by massive cyber-attack as Islamic State hackers launch assault against Anonymous

Britain has come under sustained cyber-attack as Islamist hackers launch revenge attacks against Anonymous, the shadowy group which has vowed to wipe "ISIS off the internet". Unknown assailants launched their assault late last night and continued throughout the day. Using a Twitter account set up to publicise its anti-ISIS operation, Anonymous said Britain had been "lit up" by the digital blitzkreig. Although it is often impossible to tell who is behind serious cyber-attacks, it is likely that ISIS supporters have targeted Britain in revenge for an Anonymous campaign called OpParis. This has seen an estimated 5,000 ISIS propaganda accounts shut down on Twitter and ...

... And when they do fly, America’s bombers often sortie alone or in pairs, only rarely coming together in large numbers. Seven B-52s flew together to launch cruise missiles at Iraq in the early hours of Operation Desert Storm in 1991, and a group of eight of the giant warplanes repeated the feat on the first day of Operation Iraqi Freedom in March 2003. In other words: This Russian attack was “shock and awe”—on steroids. Russia’s bomber raid was certainly impressive, and has propaganda value in addition to bolstering Moscow’s operations in Syria. When 25 of the planet’s most powerful warplanes attack at the same time, it’s more than a mere air ...

In a vile new propaganda video, IS leaders are filmed gloating over the 129 deaths in Paris and swearing vengeance against all nations uniting to punish them. They praise their “brothers” who have planned or launched terrorist attacks in Australia, and call for supporters worldwide to “fight the infidels”. Abu Mohammad al-Adnani, senior IS propagandist, promises violence “worse and more bitter” than Paris, including in Australia.

Russia Pounds ISIS With Biggest Bomber Raid in Decades Putin’s air force just uses its nuclear bombers to lay waste to the captial of the “Islamic State.” The Russian air force just pulled off one of the biggest and most complex heavy bomber missions in modern history—sending no fewer than 25 Backfire, Bear, and Blackjack bombers on a coordinated, long-range air raid against alleged ISIS forces in Syria. The Tuesday mission, which launched under the cover of darkness from a base in Ossetia in southern Russia, signaled a significant escalation of Moscow’s air war in Syria—and heralded the rebirth of Russian heavy bomber squadrons that once had withered from ...

Plans for a giant self-propelled nuclear torpedo that can create a giant tsunami more than 1,000 feet tall were recently “leaked by mistake” by the Russian media.

November 15, 2015 In the wake of the horrific Friday terrorist attacks on Paris, it's easy to overlook what happened in Beirut, Lebanon, on the same day in which twin suicide bombings killed over 40 people. Experts are expressing frustration that the Obama administration appears unable or unwilling to address the likelihood of future attacks against America. Last year was the most lethal year of terrorism on record with 16,800 terrorist attacks resulting in 43,500 deaths and 40,900 injuries. This represents an 80 percent increase in lethalities from 2013 to 2014. How can terrorism be overcome? Scott Thuman, reporting from Beirut for "Full Measure," asks, "[I]s ...

If Putin wants to fight ISIS, the US should encourage him. Among the presidential candidates of the Republican Party and their foreign policy leaders on Capitol Hill the cry is almost universal: Barack Obama has no strategy for winning the war on ISIS. This criticism, however, sounds strange coming from a party that controls Congress but has yet to devise its own strategy, or even to authorize the use of U.S. military force in Syria. Congress has punted. And compared to the cacophony from Republican ranks, Barack Obama sounds like Prince Bismarck. The President’s strategy is to contain, degrade and defeat ISIS. While no one has provided the troops to defeat ISIS, the U.S. is ...

We are going to continue the strategy that has the best chance of working," Mr Obama told a news conference. There will be an intensification of the strategy that we put forward but the strategy that we put forward is the strategy that ultimately is going to work I have heard that politicians speak in circular arguments referencing and justifying their own statements, so what he said here is more of the same thing we have been doing for the past year because that is going to work. In the meantime Daesh, that elusive enemy, has been able to make attacks outside Syria and these policies have seen thousands, perhaps millions of Syrians flee into Europe. A successful strategy if you want ...

In its renewed declaration of war against ISIS, the hacker group Anonymous referred to the Islamic militants as "Daesh." It's a term that's also been used by President Obama and French President François Hollande following Friday's deadly terrorist attacks in Paris.

Anti Islam protesters armed with flares and banners reading 'Throw out Islamists' descended on a quiet vigil being held for the victims of the Paris terror attacks in northern France. Far-right demonstrators pushed their way through the congregation which had gathered in Lille to pay their respects to the 129 people who were killed in a string of terrorist attacks in the French capital. They chanted 'Out the Muslims' and set off flares into the crowd of mourners after Front National leader Marine Le Pen declared French people 'are no longer safe' and called for France to take back control of its borders. Despite causing widespread disruption to the peaceful vigil, ...
