FALSE FLAG OPERATION (2003): While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are in Afghanistan and the Philippines defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” retired U.s. Army General Colin L. Powell, secretary of state, speaking to the 57th United Nations General Assembly, urging the world body to support the upcoming Iraqi-American War:

       We have first-hand descriptions of biological weapons factories on wheels and on rails.

       The source was an eyewitness, an Iraqi chemical engineer, who supervised one of these facilities.  He actually was present during biological agent Production runs.  He was also at the site when an accident occurred in 1998.  Twelve technicians died from exposure to biological agents.

       NOTES:

• Powell’s source for this statement was Rafid Ahmed “Curve Ball” Alwan, an Iraqi fugitive from justice, who passed himself off to German intelligence as a chemical engineer who developed biological weapons for dictator Saddam Hussein.
• A false flag operation is a clandestine action usually carried out by a group with an agenda, done in such a way to mislead a population into believing it is being done by someone else.
• In the opinion of history, and of the editors and writers, we are forced to agree on prima facie evidence alone that this is a False Flag incident at least in the military way.

       Postscript: Powell would later come to regret having made this speech.
