Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

October 11, 2010

In 1974, Turkey invaded the island of Cyprus, which is claimed by both Turkey and Greece. The invasion was described as a preventive strike against an Athens-backed coup intent on uniting the island with mainland Greece.

In the decades leading up to the invasion, Greek and Turkish Cypriots were involved in an often bloody conflict on the island. During that period, the Turkish military carried out a covert campaign of false-flag terrorist attacks designed to exacerbate tensions and provide a pretext for harassment of the country?s ethnic Greek minority ? and, eventually, the invasion of Cyprus.

Retired Turkish General Sabri Yirmibesoglu, who headed the government?s Special War Department in the early 1970s, recently admitted: ?In Special War, certain acts of sabotage are staged and blamed on the enemy to increase public resistance. We did this in Cyprus. We even burnt down a mosque.?

The use of false-flag terrorist plots is a surprisingly common tactic ? one our own government has used on numerous occasions.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
