(Real News Australia) Not much information out as yet. But now is a crucial time people. Keep a very close watch on EVERYTHING the main stream media is putting out.
As we’ve seen with every major staged event in the USA and elsewhere the official narrative is often contradicted by early information before its changed or conveniently forgotten about.
So far…
Armed men have hostages in the Lindt cafe in Sydney’s Martin Place in the CBD. MSM is saying a black flag with “Islamic” writing on it was held at the window and people were seen with their “hands in the air”.
Sydney CBD is in lockdown. So is the airspace above.
According to ABC witnesses reported a “Drill” was happening at that location.
It already sounds like their anti-Islamic fear campaign is underway.
Remember question EVERYTHING they’re putting out and ask yourself where they’re getting the info as they often never say where. Just that “reports” have come in etc…
More to come.
UPDATE: 2:43pm.
Feedback coming in saying that an “Expert” was asked by BBC anchors if this had anything to do with the anti-terror drills taking place earlier in the morning. (Awaiting video link)
Real News Australia 
Can anyone verify the witness that said it was a drill ?
ABC was the source apparently. Trying to verify. If you find it please post it here. This is vital!
I agree
The best way to prevent this kind of “terrorism” , 2 words “open carry” ! This would never happen in texas because its legal for citizens to carry sidearms and it would of been over in minutes.
I can feel some more laws coming to take away more of our rights and libertys.
I was watching the ABC and the only time I heard ‘drill’ mentioned was when it was stated that police and security services carry out anti-terroism drills twice a year in the city. When it first began, people might assume it was just another drill and perhaps someone said that early on. Other witnesses have said they thought police were responding to an armed hold-up at first. Isn’t it awful to be so cynical! but I had the same initial thought of a set-up.
One media bloke said the action had ‘flatlined’! What the hell did he expect, a SWAT Team lobbing in grenades and storming the place. Shaking head in wonder.
OK thanks Christine.
My contact in the AFP said they haven’t heard any chatter about a drill either.
Why doesnt the mainstream media point out the flag they are flying is the same flag as the “syrian rebels” / “al queda” which anyone informed and educated would know the australian government backed and supported when trying to overthrow syria, and that ISIS is just a rebranding of the same groups of mercinarys / “islamic fighters” just the same as the taliban was created and supported and armed back in the 80’s and now is the “enemy” of western corrupt governments.
Anyone could verify this just by looking at the flags flown on utube by the groups mentioned above.
People need to wake up
Well said Alf. That’s exactly right.
When I stopped watching, (around 2pm) it had already been pointed out several times that islamic verse is used as a flag for an Al Queda offshoot but there is a lot of overlapping in a person’s support between several groups. (on the ABC).
The mainstream propaganda makes me want vomit!
The real terrorists in this country is the corrupt government,
I feel much more threatend by the tyranical oppresive goverment via secret chemtrails programs, australia backing the USA dragging us into a nuclear WW3, GMO , the fukishima coverup ( ive spoken to scientists that predict the radiation will hit out shores by 2016, vaccines and the list goes on,
These things are much more of a threat than a “radical islamic terrorist” that the goverment helped create via thier involvement in overthrowing syria.
The goverment will be rubbing their hands together happy they now have a reason to deploy more “anti terrorism” laws to oppress the australian public, just like the port auther massacre, australias own false flag, where evidence had been suppressed for 40 years, why would a goverment suppress evidence if it was legit, dont take my word for it though do your own research, the new anti gun legislation was in place 13 days before port auther, witnesses that totaly dissagree with the official reports and findings on port auther, the list is goes on, oh wait but if its not on tv its not real or didnt even happen ( sarcasm )
Add to that recently the police charge in guns blazing when somone is having a domestic dispute or holding a knife, but in this case obvious hostages and guns involved and they sit back and do nothing !
And no im not a muslim, im not religious at all except for an interest in buddhism phylosophy
One of the anchors on the BBC asked an *expert* if this had anything to do with the anti-terror drills taking place earlier in the morning. This is 100% BS
Very interesting. Do you have a YouTube or video link?
Have you all forgotten about the bomb threat at the opera house. The drill may have been the excuse the police used to evacuate people without raising fear. It may also have been how they got people out of nearby buildings to the seige without panic. There are too many witnesses and photos of suspect for false flag. Why not just blow something up? Also heard there was anti terror raid in beecroft this morning so cops may have been in cbd lookig for terrorists
Yes the longer it goes on the worse it stinks, the police have the training and technology to end this hours ago but they arent..now its night thermal imaging and one 50cal bullet and its over, im pretty sure they can pick out the guy with the “gun”
Plus i saw a report on the channel 7 app that martin place was on some terror target list…if thats true why wasnt there any personel stationed there? They just waited for it to materialise? What happend to a “stakeout” ?
Spotted ABC news 24 interviewing “Stuart and Maxine Rosenthal”, supposed American tourists who ‘had friends who were injured in the Boston bombing’ who had arrived yesterday.
Three things stood out.
1) They were too calm and composed on camera.
2) Why would you interview a couple of random american tourists?
3) They looked vaguely familiar.
A bit of quick googling revealed that Maxine Rosenthal is an actor (neactor.com/profile/MaxineRosenthal).
Maxine and Stuart Rosenthal have links to the Jewish Family and Childrens Service (jfcboston.org).
That she has been liked to Sandy Hook by the alternative media (memoryholeblog.com/2013/04/11/crisis-actors-at-sandy-hook/).
I’m 70% sure that the woman in the photos on these websites is the one they interviewed, but it would be good to get a clip of the interview. Can anyone help here?
Do you have the clip of ABC interviewing them? Or is that what you’re looking for?
Can you back this up with any links or videos or anything at all ? sounds made up, nothing comes up with an inet search
i did see it to
False Flag. Ok, I saw 4 young Middle Eastern kids arrested by police outside Parramatta Mosque on Marsden Road. There were 2 TV crews but the kids were not handcuffed but were sitting down. Seemed odd.
Noted
Well this has taken the torture report off the headlines ….gosh, just think, we might have prevented this if we had kept this guy locked naked in a coffin for weeks and whipped him with electric cables. Possession of this (previously benign) Islamic flag will soon be ‘evidence’ of terrorist intent. The repeated association of ‘the flag’ with terror is classic western PR media brand association technique. I would guess these perpetrators are fanatics whipped up and directed by their double agent handlers. In the UK, the police have been caught working as undercover agent provocateurs in animal rights activist charities again and again – it’s seems pretty clear from the set up here that that is how the intelligence agencies run these false flags.
Here’s my post about the bs event. >> http://jdavismemphis.com/2014/12/15/sydney-australia-siege-wreaks-of-bs-sydneysiege/
Watching channel nine. One of the hostages on a stretcher looked like a mannequin please investigate I could be wrong
Manaquin ? Are u serious?, i know a majority of the public is asleep but i dont think they would use manaquins in this particular situation. Id really like to see the video that inspired that line of thinking
i saw here on abc news https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDMzbmxISIA
There where 17 people in there 15 got out alive then 1 died of a heart attack a police officer got pelleted on the face many more injured….. BUT with the flag it really mean peace and confidence in islamic state writing and thats all you need to know
Here is some evidence of the prior anti-Terror Drill.https://www.facebook.com/anonymousforjustice/posts/407812339368006
Cheers, thanks for sharing that, def something to consider
Man Haron Monis is a Patsy, quick check on Wikipedia confirms this,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_Haron_Monis
‘In 2001, using the name Ayatollah Manteghi Boroujerdi,he claimed in an interview with ABC Radio National’s The Religion Report that he had been involved with the Iranian ministry of intelligence and security’
‘Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency states that he was “under prosecution by the Interpol” and Iran provided information to the Australian government about his criminal record, mental and spiritual status. Despite this, he was granted asylum in Australia’
and…
It’s believed Monis lost a High Court appeal against his conviction for sending the offensive letters last Friday.
There is speculation that that may have lead to his actions yesterday.
