Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

CNN suggests Manchester jihad massacre was “right wing false flag plot”

May 25, 2017 11:06 am By Robert Spencer

CNN and the rest of the establishment propaganda media will float any theory, no matter how absurd, in their endless quest to absolve Islam of all responsibility for the crimes committed in its name and in accord with its teachings.

“In Absurd Pivot, CNN Suggests Manchester Was Right Wing False Flag,” by Amber Randall, Daily Caller, May 23, 2017:

A CNN analyst suggested that the Manchester bombing could have been a false flag during a segment Monday night.

During Anderson Cooper’s AC360 , CNN terror analyst Paul Cruickshank admitted that a suicide bomber was more than likely responsible for the explosion at Manchester Arena after an Ariana Grande concert ended. However, he floated the idea that the bombing could have been part of a right wing extremist plot.

“It must also be noted that in recent months in Europe, there’s been a number of false flag plots where right wing have been trying to blame Islamists for terrorism,” Cruickshank said. “We have seen that in Germany in recent weeks.”…

    CNN? “Go back to univision”……Losers…..

    Trump/Pence 2020 for sure. Is there someone else? Maybe governor Abbot, TX if decided to take on the Donald.

    “in its name and in accord with its teachings”

    It’s the “in accordance with its teachings” part that so many are working so hard to prevent.

      Very true.

      I just saw Laura Boldrini on TV saying that Isis is not inspired by the Koran.

      I wonder what she would say about Saudi Arabia, which has the Koran as its own constitution yet is barely any different from Isis.

    I stopped watching CNN several years ago. Some time ago CNN got rid of decent journalists and hired professional propagandists.

    CNN likes conspiracy theories. Ok, so why didn’t the “right wing extremist” suicide bomber target KNOWN leftists like those who congregate in the streets regularly to hoot and holler for communism? Why didn’t the conspirators attack the left like Anders Breivik? Why did they settle for so little body count against KNOWN leftists? Was John McCain calling the shots?

    • Oliver says

      May 25, 2017 at 7:50 pm

      If John McCain called the shots, it would be like when he was on the USS FORESTAL (Nam war era) and he fired (while on the carrier) a misslile or rocket into ANOTHER AMERICAN PLANE, also on the USS Forestal.

      And over 100 people died putting out the damage.

      His father was an admiral, so he was : not court maritaled; not thrown out as an aviator; not penalized in any way.

      So, if he was in charge of right wing extremists, they would probably not target lefties.

      i voted for him, as the lesser of two evils.

    Well, that’s a change of tack. Its usually Mossard and the Jewoooooos plotting to blacken the name of peaceful Islam and all its moderate, tolerant and loving adherents.

    • Oliver says

      If it was in the US, (until recently when he bacame a media darling by criticizing Pres Trump) it would have been George W Bush’s fault.

      Probably true in a sense-he let the Ben Ladin family leave after 911, and called ISLAM A RELIGION OF PEACE.

    It was a right-wing plot – by Islamofascists.

  11. Santa Voorhees says

    May 25, 2017 at 12:58 pm

    Right wingers do not want islamists in their countries to begin with, let alone using them to bomb innocent children.

    The truth is that this so-called analysts does not want to admit that the attack (as many others before) simply do not fit the Left’s narrative that white people suck and muslims are awesome. They are the ones who, thank to their policies, let Salman in, and so they are trying to spin the fault on us, who actually want to keep such individuals out.

      Couldn’t agree with you more Santa V! The left love to play on the simple minds of those that have been indoctrinated by the widespread and covert liberalism that is sweeping our countries, and that is why you’ll find the greatest concentration of leftists in the media industry. It is their platform from which they spread their lies, to a wide audience.
      When an atrocity happens like that in Manchester, they are quick to sow the seeds of doubt into mostly young impressionable minds. Very much like the widespread left encouraged adverts showing Black men/White girl couples. Yet another way of them eradicating white free individuals by mass the assimilation of the invading hoards of Muslims and Blacks that the Liberal left are encouraging and allowing in to colonise our countries. You saw this in action when Trump tried to invoke an executive order to ban Muslims from a small number of high threat countries. Again, PC won the day (oh dear no, we mustn’t upset the Muslims). So the threat against the West is heightened as a result, as we are simply powerless to do anything to protect ourselves.
      It is the left that is our true enemy. They are THE root cause of all our problems. The Muslims and Blacks are simply their tools of mass destruction. Their means of overthrowing our societies without a shot being fired. Their motto could easily be ‘why kill your enemy when you can simply poison their minds to come over to our way of thinking’? And what better place could there be for this indoctrination to be most efficient and effective? Yes, schools and Universities!! While in the meantime, all others can be targeted via the media ie. CNN, BBC etc!!
      This is an insidious covert war that we are fighting and losing because of widespread Political Correctness, that was of course introduced into our society by the evil left!!

    No doubt about it
    It was the SAS, MI5, The Vatican, The Boy Scouts and Opus Dei who did it

      No, they only operate in the US (sarc).

    A friend of mine heard, (I think he said someone on CNN, not sure, DEFINITELY NOT ON FOX) –that not only was it NOT an Islamic terrorist who did this, IT NEVER HAPPENED. WAS A SMOKE BOMB ( BY RIGHT WINGERS) AND THE TEENS AND 8 YEAR OLD ARE ALL IN SAFE HOUSES.

    My friend did not if he should laugh or cry.

    It makes no sense. But, liberturds never do.

    CNN is a joke. It’s entertainment, not news.

    Unfortunately there are still some people out there who take CNN seriously.

    The parents who incorrectly thought that their children were murdered in this attack will be so relieved to find out that it was all just a staged false flag production!

    Where are there (still living and just fine) children staying?

    GRRRRR!!!!!!

    • Jeanette says

      May 25, 2017 at 10:43 pm

      OOps – typing too fast – should have said “their” children, not “there” children!

    • Jack Holan says

      May 26, 2017 at 7:34 pm

      This jerk should physically stand before the Victims of Terror (those who’s who lost their children) and share his CNN wisdom. Just to make it sporting, no body guards or Police, just ‘The Analyst’ and the Victims

    “It must also be noted that in recent months in Europe, there’s been a number of false flag plots where right wing have been trying to blame Islamists for terrorism,” Cruickshank said. “We have seen that in Germany in recent weeks.”…

    Examples, please? No, I thought not. Obviously Cruickshank’s goal is merely to smear.

    CNN suggest Manchester jihad massacre was “right wing false flag plot”
    …………………………

    *Despicable*. As Karen notes, there have been *no* examples of this at all.
