I knew it. I just knew in a couple days I'd see this, "Paris Truthers" are out...

Doesn't it ever occur to them that there are people out there who will commit violence without government help?

Despicable truthers use photos of four different women to ‘prove’ that Paris attacks were staged

Despite the fact that terrorist organization ISIS has claimed credit for the Friday the 13th attacks in Paris — reportedly related to the ongoing battles in Syria — that hasn’t kept conspiracy theorists from seeing darker and more secretive motives behind the dramatic assaults that claimed 129 lives.

Depending upon which conspiracy site you visit, the attacks were a “false flag” operation designed by the CIA and French intelligence to incite another war in the Middle East, or they were intended to distract attention away from a global climate event featuring former Vice President Al Gore at the Eiffel Tower.

At Alex Jones’ conspiracy site, Infowars, editors are of two minds about the attacks. According to Paul Joseph Watson, the assault is just the beginning of future planned attacks if Syrian refugees are allowed into western countries. Joe Biggs states that the CIA and French intelligence met secretly before the attacks with a former Israeli security adviser and questions whether they knew about the attacks beforehand.

According to Before It’s News, “There are currently numerous explanations being offered for the alleged false flag terrorist attacks orchestrated in Paris on Friday the 13th. Each of them has their own merits and ought to be read very carefully.”

As evidence, the website published a collection of photos (seen below) of a woman they claim is a “crisis actor” crying in Paris who — they assert — is the same women seen crying following the mass shootings in Aurora, Colorado and Sandy Hook, Connecticut — as well as being spotted crying following the terrorist bombing at the Boston Marathon in 2013.

Cuz, ya know, when you kill a couple dozen folks in cold blood, ya have to be sure there's someone crying nearby. Can't risk that the crying will just happen spontaneously among bystanders.

Yep, has to be CIA because only the Government is capable of such planning and executional excellence (I know - bad pun).




Where da fuq do people come up with these ideas ??? Just where da fuq.

In reality, people commit crimes, terrorist outrages, kill important people.

Sometimes completely at random.

And in the conspiracy universe, there *HAS* to be someone to blame for when something goes wrong.

Religious groups. Governments. Non-religious groups. Satan. Whatever...

Did you know that one was arrested for harassment last week at a charity event for Victoria Soto(the teacher who was killed protecting her students at Sandy Hook). He was trying to ask her sisters a "question". It was the same person who interrupted the press conference at the Super Bowl.

There were members of this site doing the exact same thing as the story broke. They tried to be coy, but they weren't fooloing anyone.
