False Flag Terror Events

[Sojourner]

Lincoln did do some questionable things during the Civil War, among them suspending habeas corpus. Habeas corpus is a means by which a prisoner petitions for release from unlawful imprisonment. Lincoln suspended it in parts of the country because of rioting and other unrest. His actions were found in a Supreme Court decision (Ex Parte Merryman) to be unconstitutional, but Lincoln ignored the order and continued to suspend habeas rights in many parts of the country. It was not nationwide, as far as I know, but I can't remember which geographic areas specifically were affected.

Habeas challenges, btw, are central to the claims of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay and to others who have been arrested in the course of the war on terror, esp. American citizens arrested as enemy combatants. The gov't's rationale is much the same as Lincoln's was during the Civil War -- violations of constitutional rights are OK as long as order is maintained.

Not that Lincoln didn't do great things during the Civil War, but he wasn't as well-loved then as he is now.

I guess I am learning something in constitutional law after all ...

I would maintain that it was about the economy (a nice way of putting it). Most of the CSA seceded after Lincoln's election, but before his inauguration, so he hadn't actually done anything to them. He did say he would not condone the [i]expansion [/i]of slavery, though he said nothing about getting rid of it altogether at that point, if I remember correctly, while he did later support complete emancipation, as well he should have. (Although, even the Emancipation Proclamation didn't do that; it only freed the slaves in the CSA, a different country, and freed no slaves within the Union.) He also wanted tariffs, which wasn't exactly the best thing for the southern economy. Since the southern states didn't believe the federal government truly had the right to do that, they left.

And yes, that is quite true, and something a lot of people either forget or gloss over. I admire Lincoln for many things, but I know he was far from perfect.

And maybe we should just start a Civil War thread, since we're talking about that now.

Nothing that Lincoln did justified seceding. Lincoln's action subsequent to their secession is what makes him the greatest president in US history. He literally brought the country back together.

Comparing Bush to him is just silly.

Just to clarify (I just went back and read over some of the cases): the right of habeas is suspendable with proper cause, and actually there's a constitutional provision that explicitly provides for this. Lincoln's exercise of executive power in suspending it was what was at issue ... the court found that he overstepped his authority by imprisoning people without giving cause (typically when someone is arrested, there must be probable cause for said arrest); here, Lincoln did so without first seeking the approval of Congress, which prior administrations had done. Two years after the 1861 Merryman decision, Congress passed an act permitting executive suspensions of habeas rights.

Thanks for looking that up.

Ok...... What happened to staying on topic? Start a new thread if you want to talk about the Civil War, Lincoln, etc.
Sheesh!

Megz is a good at marketing. I suggest she go into PR, because she totally spun this post around.

From The Bush's having Ties with the Nazi's and the possibility of them planning 9/11 to Lincoln is like Bush.

When I was taking Journalism in College, we called such tactics 'THE DARK SIDE' of media.

While I'm not going to waste time with the conspiracy-theory nonsense, I just thought I'd point out some facts regarding Lincoln and the War Between the States. The individual states [i]did[/i] have a right to secede from the Union, as guaranteed by the 10th Amendment, and most American statesmen and constitutional lawyers saw it that way prior to the War (including Lincoln himself, based on a writing of his from 1848). In fact before the war, there was a move by abolitionists for some [i]Northern[/i] states to secede.

The war was [i]not[/i] started to free the slaves - it was, as Lincoln repeatedly stated - to "preserve the Union". Lincoln's granting of freedom to slaves in the Southern States was only introduced late in the war - as a measure to disrupt the South.
Lincoln himself repeatedly made statements showing contempt for black people, whom he regarded as inferior creatures.

The war began when Lincoln sent troops to the Southern states which had seceded to quash the "rebellion" by military force. It was this act of aggression which prompted the states of Virginia, Tennesee, North Carolina, and Arkansas (formerly loyal to the Union) to secede.

I don't think there are two sets of rules on the phorum, I just think that, honestly, nobody takes the Illuminati stuff seriously. Lincoln might be dead but his standing as a moral or political leader is more interesting (for most people) to discuss. The conspiracy ideas are stuff you either believe or you don't, and if you don't, you are not going to be convinced by postings on an Internet forum. Trust me on that one.

I would like to know if this is legit....

EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
Richmond, September 23, 1863.




Most Venerable Chief of the Holy See and Sovereign Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church,

The letters which your Holiness addressed to the venerable chiefs of the Catholic clergy in New Orleans and New York have been brought to my attention, and I have read with emotion the terms in which you are pleased to express the deep sorrow with which you regard the slaughter, ruin, and devastation consequent on the war now waged by the Government of the United States against the States and people over which I have been chosen to preside, and in which you direct them, and the clergy under their authority, to exhort the people and the rulers to the exercise of mutual charity and the love of peace. I as deeply sensible of the Christian charity and sympathy with which your Holiness has twice appealed to the venerable clergy of your church, urging them to use and apply all study and exertion for the restoration of peace and tranquillity.

I therefore deem it my duty to offer to your Holiness in my own name and in that of the people of the Confederate States the expression of our sincere and cordial appreciation of the Christian charity and love by which your Holiness is actuated, and to assure you that this people at whose hearthstones the enemy is now pressing with threats of dire oppression and merciless carnage are now and ever have been earnestly desirous that this wicked war shall cease; that we have offered at the footstool of Our Father who is in heaven prayers inspired by the same feelings which animated your Holiness; that we desire no evil to our enemies, nor do we covet any of their possessions; but are only struggling to the end that they shall cease to devastate our land and inflict useless and cruel slaughter upon our people; and that we be permitted to live at peace with all mankind under our own laws and institutions, which protect every man in the enjoyment not only of his temporal rights but of the freedom of worshiping God according to his own faith.
[b]I therefore pray your Holiness to accept from me and from the people of these Confederate States this assurance of our sincere thanks for your effort to aid the cause of peace, and of our earnest wishes that your life may be prolonged and that God may have you in His holy keeping.[/b]

JEFFERSON DAVIS,
President of the Confederate States of North America[/quote]

[color="#000000"][size=3]False Flag Terror Of The New World Order[/size][/color]
[b]Methods used to facilitate staged attacks[/b]

[i]Paul Joseph Watson[/i]

The fact that states, intelligence and security agencies engage in false flag staged terror to further political agendas is documented throughout history, but it's too naive to simply characterize every act as an "inside job." Different methods are utilized to facilitate attacks using three different basic templates.

[b]1) Unwitting Dupes[/b]

In this case, role players are used to test "security responses" by being told they are part of an exercise for a dummy terrorist attack, an operation that will help the state prevent similar attacks in future. The controllers tell the unwitting dupes that no harm will come to them and that their help will be greatly rewarded.

[b]- London Bombings[/b]

The 7/7 bombings are a prime example of the unwitting dupes method. [b][color="#8B0000"]Mohammed Siddique Khan, the alleged ringleader of the 7/7 London bombings, was working for British intelligence agency MI5 as an informant at the time of the attacks.[/color][/b] Family and friends described the accused bombers as friendly, westernized and having no interest in politics. Metropolitan police career experts in criminal psychology concluded that the bombers' behavior clearly indicated they did not know they were about to die. In an impossible coincidence, the attack paralleled a security drill that targeted the exact same locations at the exact same time. This is a clear example of where unwitting dupes were told that the operation was a security test and yet were strapped with real bombs and a real attack took place.

[b]2) Provocateurs & Patsies[/b]

This is by far the most used method. In this case, radicals with past ties to terrorist groups are hired as informants to infiltrate mainly Islamic political groups and encourage them to carry out acts of terror. In almost every case, the materials required to carry out the attack are directly provided by intelligence agencies or via the hired provocateur. [b]Agent provocateurs also take the guise of undercover government agents, who radicalize otherwise harmless groups over a long period of time and provide financial and material support and safe passage for the group to carry out the attack.[/b]

[b]- 1993 WTC Bombing[/b]

The first [b][color="#8B0000"]World Trade Center bombing was provocateured by the government.[/color][/b] In 1993 the FBI [i]planted their informant,[/i] Emad A. Salem, within a radical Arab group in New York led by Ramzi Yousef. Salem was ordered to encourage the group to carry out a bombing targeting the World Trade Center's twin towers. Under the illusion that the project was a sting operation, Salem asked the FBI for harmless dummy explosives which he would use to assemble the bomb and then pass on to the group. At this point the FBI cut Salem out of the loop and provided the group with real explosives, leading to the attack on February 26 that killed six and injured over a thousand. The FBI's failure to prevent the bombing was reported on by the New York Times in October 1993.

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1Y6cGRXEs"]RARE TV NEWS report about WTC bombing FBI Foreknowledge[/url]

[b]3) Complete Complicity[/b]

Acts of complete complicity, where the [b]state controls and dictates the attack every step of the way,[/b] are only used for major bellwether terrorist atrocities with clearly defined and planned outcomes. Pre-arranged patsies are set-up to take the fall for the attack, but they play very little or no role whatsoever in actually carrying out the attack.[color="#8B0000"][b] 9/11 is the obvious example, but another major case where this method was first used dates back to the 1950's.
[/b][/color]
[b]- Bombing Campaign Against Mossadegh's Iran[/b]

[color="#8B0000"][b]Kermit Roosevelt admitted on NPR radio that in 1953 the CIA and British intelligence carried out a wave of bombings and shootings in Iran to overthrow the democratically elected Premier following Mossadegh's declaration that he would nationalize foreign oil holdings. [/b][/color]He then went on to brag about how they subsequently blamed the bombings on Mossadegh himself. The CIA's own account of the overthrow, reported on by the New York Times in April 2000, states that the agency "directed a campaign of bombings" as part of the coup d’état.
