An institute named for the father of possible presidential candidate Rand Paul has published a piece saying the Charlie Hebdo massacre, like 9/11, was a false flag operation. The claim comes in piece titled, "Charlie Hebdo Shootings: False Flag?," put online today at the Ron Paul Institute. "The Charlie Hebdo affair has many of the characteristics of a false flag operation. The attack on the cartoonists’ office was a disciplined professional attack of the kind associated with highly trained special forces; yet the suspects who were later corralled and killed seemed bumbling and unprofessional. It is like two different sets of people," reads the first paragraph of the piece. Usually Muslim terrorists are prepared to die in the attack; yet the two professionals who hit Charlie Hebdo were determined to escape and succeeded, an amazing feat. Their identity was allegedly established by the claim that they conveniently left for the authorities their ID in the getaway car. Such a mistake is inconsistent with the professionalism of the attack and reminds me of the undamaged passport found miraculously among the ruins of the two WTC towers that served to establish the identity of the alleged 9/11 hijackers. It is a plausible inference that the ID left behind in the getaway car was the ID of the two Kouachi brothers, convenient patsies, later killed by police, and from whom we will never hear anything, and not the ID of the professionals who attacked Charlie Hebdo. An important fact that supports this inference is the report that the third suspect in the attack, Hamyd Mourad, the alleged driver of the getaway car, when seeing his name circulating on social media as a suspect realized the danger he was in and quickly turned himself into the police for protection against being murdered by security forces as a terrorist. .... Some will contend that Muslims are sufficiently stupid to shoot themselves in the head in this way. But how do we reconcile such alleged stupidity with the alleged Muslim 9/11 and Charlie Hebdo professional attacks? If we believe the official story, the 9/11 attack on the US shows that 19 Muslims, largely Saudis, without any government or intelligence service support, outwitted not only all 16 US intelligence agencies, the National Security Council, Dick Cheney and all the neoconservatives in high positions throughout the US government, and airport security, but also the intelligence services of NATO and Israel’s Mossad. How can such intelligent and capable people, who delivered the most humiliating blow in world history to an alleged Superpower with no difficulty whatsoever despite giving every indication of their intentions, possibly be so stupid as to shoot themselves in the head when they could have thrown France into turmoil with a mere lawsuit? The Charlie Hebdo story simply doesn’t wash. If you believe it, you are no match for a Muslim. One wonders what Rand Paul thinks of this crack pot conspiracy theory pushed by his father's institute.

Image Credits: Fox News screen capture of Daniel Halper Roberts is a former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury and former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal. Halper writes: An institue (sic) named for the father of possible presidential candidate Rand Paul has published a piece saying the Charlie Hebdo massacre, like 9/11, was a false flag operation. The claim comes in piece titled, “Charlie Hebdo Shootings: False Flag?,” put online today at the Ron Paul Institute. Halper does not bother to provide a link to the article in question, thus demonstrating his lack of journalistic ethos. If he had, he would discover the true author of the piece in question. Halper and the neocons are so blinded by their hatred of Paul and libertarianism they can’t be bothered to check facts. The real target of the attack is not Ron Paul, however. It is his son, who is preparing to run for president. Ron Paul no longer poses a political threat to the neocons, but his son, who has expressed libertarian opinions on foreign policy, does. The neocons prefer Hillary Clinton or a suitable warmonger in the Republican party. Paul Craig Roberts made valid points in the article misattributed to Paul, but we cannot expect the establishment, especially the neocon faction within, to entertain reality. In the bizarro world of the neocons, it is incomprehensible that the political class would engage in a false flag event to produce a desirable result, namely get a flagging war on terror back in gear and the clash of civilizations on track. Halper, now faced with the facts, should humbly apologize to Ron Paul. He will not, of course, and the war party charade will continue. There is a good reason The Weekly Standard is a financial failure dependent on the good will of Rupert Murdoch and other “conservatives” with deep pockets. It is a propaganda mill for neocons and their policies of murder and endless war. Most people see it for what it is.

Good post, hondo. Attempted smears like this illustrate just how panicked the establishment is getting over a Rand Paul candidacy.
A gutsy rebuttal, pretty scathing. Halper's reputation will nosedive but Weekly Standard won't care. This may be their attempt to scare donors away from Rand Paul with rumormongering.
