> This is a false-flag attack designed to motivate moving western operations in Syria from covert to overt. There are already Russians and Chinese in Syria so this could literally kick of WWIII if no one stops it. Unfortunately the media is so well controlled that the ubiquitous war propaganda is generally not questioned.

> As demonstrated by the instant downvote of my comment, media that isn't explicitly controlled is generally self-censored to protect the mythical reality supporting the war effort.

The instant downvoting of your comment has got very little to do with a global conspiracy and media control and far more to do with the fact that your are seriously deluded. Your comments are of the type "I am the only sane person in the world"

Eyewitnesses report professional soldiers who were not apprehended. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/14/paris-attack-wi...

"France admits soldiers have deserted to ISIS, including ex-elite special forces and French foreign legionnaires" http://news.nationalpost.com/news/france-admits-soldiers-hav... But that said black jumper doesn't mean a soldier ISIS likes their blacks (too early for humor but the latest South Park episode kinda dealt exactly with that), could be a professional soldier, could just be an experienced fighter, could be just a guy who spent 2 weeks in Libya training how to fire an AK that looked scary and professional because he had a gun and a black adult onesie. Eye witness testimonies are often inaccurate even if they had sufficient experience to judge the expertise of the attacker they would likely over estimate it due to the trauma.

The downvotes of your comment don't demonstrate that. You're making insensitive assertions with no evidence to back them up. Further, others have made more intelligent contributions on the rights and wrongs of certain state powers without getting downvoted.

Not everything is a false flag attack. People are down voting you because you provide zero substantive evidence to your claims. Personally I am against a violent response as I know it's futile yet I still believe this attack was legit ISIS. The problem was caused by war and won't be solved by more war.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

i don't even understand how a false flag works in a situation like this. so 7 people people behind the false flag blew themselves up. it doesn't make sense. maybe they were promised a big christmas bonus

The news media was suggesting that France and European internal border security has not been so rigorous.

That's by design not mistake. Within the Schengen Area borders are pretty much left open. Even flying you might be asked for ID by the airline but won't be by border control. If you drive from France to, say, Belgium, you'll just drive past a "Welcome to Belgium" sign.

Indeed. I've done many a road trip around Europe and the only time I've ever had my passport checked inside the EU was entering and leaving the UK.

> Within the Schengen Area borders

Well, it's the same AT the Schengen border these days. It's not a border, it's a joke if anyone can go past it.

I don't think your interpretation of the downvotes is correct.

I cannot see the original comment, because it appears as [flagged], but I can imagine that it is quite non-mainstream. I do not see why it would need to be censored. It probably makes sense in one way or the other, without therefore being particularly popular. But then again, comments that are mainstream and popular are utterly useless and usually very unintelligent. It also shows why "voting" does not work. It will always turn into a dictatorship of the mediocre average.

You should probably read the comment before you talk about it. To read [dead] comments you go to your profile, and set the [showdead] toggle.

More overt operations in Syria is a plausible outcome, so it's not full-on.

It's probably not a false flag and greater still probably won't lead to the outbreak of WWIII, I do concede that.

(However, it's not too outlandish that the perpetrators may turn out to be jihadists unaffiliated with ISIL, which would still technically make it a "false flag".)
