FALSE FLAG IN THE COUNTRYSIDE”?

Why should the report of a Russian attack on Polish territory be suspected?

By Sir Charlattam

Late at night near the small Polish town of Przewodów, some 10 miles from the Ukrainian border, a loud boom was heard that shook the earth. As soon as it happened, rumours spread that a Russian missile had hit a rural village, killing two people. The Associated Press validated the information and this rumour became a news story that was picked up by the Western media with a clear objective: to accuse Russia of attacking a NATO member.

The fact could not have been more convenient and despite the fact that all the media in the hemisphere (and how could it be otherwise), including the Argentinean media, began to point the finger at Russia as the author of this alleged attack. The timing was not random either, as it came just as Russia had hours earlier systematically and punctually struck Ukraine's entire electrical and railway system, leaving the capital practically immobilised.

Intelligence sources could not confirm the accusations and the Kremlin itself immediately denied that it was a missile attack, so what could have happened?

As is well known, deception is one of the most common tactics used in war to try to gain an advantage over the enemy. Contemporary history is full of such examples. Just as an example, in 2003 when US and British planes were demolishing Baghdad, deliberate attacks on hospitals and mosques were reported, and the Pentagon, showing aerial photos, claimed that it was the Iraqis themselves who were blowing up these buildings in order to blame them. It was not long before it was proven that it was the invaders who had committed these acts, but that would no longer matter as they would overthrow the government and put a puppet in its place.

Nor should it come as a surprise to those who know the history of the region that it is Poland that is being attacked by an allegedly fallen missile in the middle of a field. Since before the beginning of Special Operation Z, Warsaw as one of NATO's tentacles has played a leading role against Russia. Historical quarrels have never been settled and the hatreds of the past linger on even longer after the suspicious death of Polish Prime Minister Lech Kaczyński on 10 April 2010 after his plane crashed in Smolensk, strangely enough near the banks of the Dnieper River. For the Russophobes in Warsaw (who enthusiastically cooperate with the neo-conservatives) the plane was sabotaged on the orders of Vladimir Putin himself and executed by the FSB and Kaczynki himself finished off when he was found dying in the wreckage.

But others attributed this to a British MI6 operation supported by Kaczynki's opponents (pro-EU liberals, as it happens) who wanted nothing to do with bringing Poland closer to Russia. If it had been a Russian attack, no doubt they chose the wrong time and place to assassinate him, an unbelievable clumsiness for something so serious.

And here it is again. Although the Polish government pretends to be surprised by this alleged attack, since the US in 2013 with Victoria Nuland, John Kerry and the US ambassador in Kiev Geoffrey Pyatt instigated what became a coup in February 2014, it has never ceased to collaborate with Washington's box of dirty tricks. Its borders have been a willing sieve for supplies, mercenaries and weaponry to enter Ukraine to go to the Donbass where at least 20,000 villagers have been killed since 2014. Certainly, a contribution to peace.

But what fell on that farm on Polish territory was it really a Russian missile? The question is pertinent since (in addition to other similar accusations in the past) it has not been confirmed what kind of missile it was and where it came from. It is even very suspicious that within minutes of the incident, the Western media blamed it with absolute certainty on a “Russian missile”. An investigation had not even begun and the intelligence agencies reporting to the White House did not dare to confirm the version, but the media and Zelensky himself already had the culprit; very suspicious, don't you think?

The hoaxes known as “False Flag” have been in the limelight for the last thirty years and much more clearly since the never-cleared-up events of 9/11. Fabricating an incident and making it look like it was executed by your enemy has become a common tactic in conflicts over the last twenty years. From Iraq in 2003 through Libya in 2010, Syria in 2011 (especially the Al Ghouta set-up in 2013), or what about the attacks on tankers in the Persian Gulf trying to implicate Iran in June 2019 to name but a few, the media have collaborated with their narratives to give each of these events the final touch to close the narrative that disguises the deception. The current circumstances in Ukraine were to be no exception.

The media in this conflagration have played an important role in the Atlanticist propaganda reaching paroxysm levels to try to fabricate incidents that can be blamed on Russia. With regard to the missiles, during the first weeks of the Russian incursion the versions produced by the main “news” centres based in London (BBC), the EU (Reuters) and Washington (CNN) were not exaggerated and in some cases even deliberately staged to generate Russophobic aversion to support the extortionate trade and financial measures that Washington was about to implement.

One such blatant event occurred on 26 February at a time when Russia was literally stripping the Ukrainian military infrastructure. At that time the Russian army was on its way to Kiev and its planes were clearing the surrounding defences and radars. It was at that moment that a Soviet-made BUCK missile was fired without considering that it was in the way of a building, which was caught on camera by some correspondents but blatantly blamed on the Russians in the West. Although the Ukrainians themselves witnessed this, the ultra-nationalist regime and its secret police (with whom the CIA and MI6 work in tandem) were not going to allow anyone to open their mouths and took it upon themselves to placate any slack mouths that dared to say otherwise. Equally, the amount of footage taken that instant and circulated around the world made it impossible to hide, so it doesn't matter if Zelensky and his supporters say otherwise.

Remember the incident in Kramatorsk in April 2022? All the Western media immediately did not hesitate to accuse a Russian missile but investigations and evidence from photographic pieces of the missile wreckage proved that what was reported was false and it was actually a missile of the Ukrainian Armed Forces that killed 57 compatriots. Radio silence.

What happened in the Polish countryside is far from clear. Since it is so easy to point fingers and accuse, let us speculate and ask ourselves these questions: Why couldn't it have been a missile fired deliberately from Ukrainian territory? And if so, was it necessarily a missile or could it also have been an artillery shot, or perhaps an air-to-ground missile fired from the airspace of one of the neighbours? The Western corporate media will continue to bleat what is convenient for Washington. It is known that Brussels will use it to justify Polish euphoria to “mobilise its troops for combat”, but also NATO members and in particular Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg know that without evidence to justify official entry into the war (because it was already taking part behind the scenes), it will have consequences beyond the merely discursive.
