Perhaps the lesson of the boy who cried wolf applies here, or maybe it is just a sign of the times.
After all, people in France have become so terrified as of late, that perhaps they would believe any story that sounded even possibly credible.
It seems that’s how one pre-school teacher figured it, before injuring himself with scissors and a box cutter and blaming it on an attacker from ISIS.
The London Guardian reports:
A preschool teacher who claimed to have been attacked by a masked assailant invoking Islamic State (Isis) has admitted he made up the story, French prosecutors have said.
The attack reported on Monday by the teacher set off a manhunt in the northern Paris suburb of Aubervilliers, but he later admitted under questioning from prosecutors that the story had been a lie.
[…]
The 45-year old teacher at Jean Perrin nursery school had earlier claimed that a man in overalls and a balaclava had arrived while he was preparing his class on Monday, grabbed a box cutter and scissors that were in the room, and attacked him.
The teacher further claimed that the man shouted: “This is Daesh. This is a warning.” Daesh is another name for Isis.
The teacher was hospitalised with light knife wounds in his side and throat.
The false report comes as France remains in a state of emergency after the attacks in Paris on 13 November by Isis-linked extremists that left 130 people dead and hundreds wounded. A few weeks later, Isis urged its followers to attack teachers in France, saying the secular education system was poisoning young minds.
The details are still coming out as to what motivated this teacher, though some have suggested the man hoped for a transfer to a better school and that the attack would be enough to secure it.
But instead, a manhunt by authorities and a further probe revealed it to be nothing more than a hoax for attention.
So have there been any other “invented” attacks, here at home in the United States or abroad? Or is this just an exception, with poorly thought out plans to get away with the lie?
On the whole nobody is talking, but for those willing to the digging, there is typically less “truth” the deeper one goes, and plenty of pseudo-events with media scripting not only with stories about terrorism, but with many mainstream reports on “important issues.”
Surely, this case is a bit different, as an individual attempts to take advantage of the unquestioning hysteria sweeping France during the last few months.
But nonetheless, it is time to face the fact that the threat of terrorism is overblown, and these fears are stoked for greater political power to “do something.”
ISIS’ own videos purportedly showing outrageous and gruesome executions and elaborate killings raise questions about the credibility of what we have been told. And that is before raising relevant questions about where ISIS gets its funding and manpower.
Even the New York Times has been forced to admit that nearly every terror plot that has made headlines since 9/11 was organized by the FBI. Most of the terrorism threat is manufactured, something that even the FBI tacitly admits.
RT reported in 2011:
“The problem with the cases we’re talking about is that defendants would not have done anything if not kicked in the ass by government agents,” Martin Stolar tells Mother Jones. “They’re creating crimes to solve crimes so they can claim a victory in the war on terror.”
“The plots people are accused of being part of — attacking subway systems or trying to bomb a building — are so frightening that they can overwhelm a jury,” David Cole, a Georgetown University law professor, tells Mother Jones. “They don’t say, ‘I’ve been entrapped,’ or, ‘I was immature,’” a retired FBI official remarks.
What price do we all pay for the misinformation and deception? And who is wagging the dog?
And how many other obvious lies have the masses willingly swallowed?
So one mental makes up a bullshit story and some people believe it. Not all, just some. All based on hysteria and fear. Sounds like cravehead’s hysterical rants when he believes pretty much anything.
Tunckuf, once again, you don’t know what you’re talking about. If I believed LITERALLY ANYTHING, I WOULD BE A SHEEPLE AND NOT EVEN COMING TO THIS SITES LIKE THIS ONE. I do know better despite what you believe. all MSM sources and 1,000,000% BS. Whether the story is true or not doesn’t matter so much. It’s not making what we will be facing go away.
Craveshead. So everyone who visits this site is not s sheeple? I beg to differ. This story is true. The nut case falsified an attack. Some people believed her. You tend to believe pretty much anything said regarding the articles. Some are good and a few are complete crap. You run with most anything that fits your views. You have the critical thinking skills of a low level moron. And nope, I won’t go away. You don’t run this site. Do you believe you run this and your can exclude people? Get a grip.
Tunckuf, YOU get a grip instead. I know I don’t run this site and I never said you had to leave, so stop lying. I never even said whether the story is true or false. On occasion an article does come up that I do question. I do my own research on things and never accept anything at face value. My critical thinking skills are much better than you think. Some sheeple come here on occasion to learn and try to get away from being sheeple. That’s what we’re here for. I’ve never seen you be helpful to anyone here even once. all you do is come on here with your stupid trolling.
You know, I don’t expect everyone to hold hands and get along all of the time but FFS, can we all at least act like we’re on the same side of this mess??
Attacking each other is counterproductive. Grow up.
Marcus, I appreciate your concern, but the troll is the problem, not me.
Did I mention I have no use for trolls? OK, just checking.
France is now in a permanent ‘state of emergency’.
If the average American knew what our teachers are teaching our children . We would torcher every one of them to death.
Lone
Its not the teachers yes there are some idiots out there.
But !!!they have to follow guide lines set down by states board of education at the local, state, and federal levels.
I just found out that West Virgina schools at least in my county when you are in the 8th grade that the American Civil War is a big part, and is a MUST HAVE class.
That is why there was not so much of a ta do with this confederate flag thing, be cause students here are very educated about it.
Maybe you should have asked a teacher to help you spell torture.
Why invent a situation…the government does it for you.
You people really need to put into PRACTICE the things you talk about. Practice living off the grid and living in the woods for a few days. Turn off the main breaker and the water main.
You will be astounded at how fast you go through your preps. Things you take for granted become major hassles. You need a mountain of fuel, blankets, rechargeable batteries, water and gas mask filters, water barrels, etc. You better try those solar chargers out in real life; manufacturer claims exceed performance.

Emergency Survival 10 Commandments
1. Stay in present time. Don’t get overwhelmed by fast changing events or
motions. Automatic reactions can be good or bad. They are often based on fixed
ideas. Fixed ideas if not appropriate to the present time situation can get in the
way of doing the correct action. Staying in present time being fully aware of what
is going on is mandatory in emergency survival situations.
2. Observe the obvious. Look for the simple obvious what is in front of you to
observe. Do a careful full attention in present time observation. Remove fixed
ideas from the equation. Fixed ideas on how to handle come in to staple down the
confusion of the situation.
3. Evaluation of importance: Is there something (situation) going on that is more
important to observe and be present for?
4. Define the current situation: What is the problem or situation that needs
handling?
5. Do your own analysis: Keep your own counsel. Determine all of the options
available for the situation definition. Share with others and get them to do the
same.
6. Evaluate all of the options: The basic cycle of handling will be observe-decideact.
Careful observation and definition of the situation can lead to correct
decisions of the best option for action.
7. Bring order to current environment. Don’t do actions that add to the confusion
that is currently going on. Put attention of those that can handle on to the proper
actions that are need. Put others attention on what needs to be done.
8. If needed jump in and bypass others to get the vital actions done.
9. Help others: Help or get help for the injured or physically in trouble. Remove
those that have gone insane from the environment. Calm those on the boarder of
insanity and give them something simple to do.
10. Look for out points. Put attention on it to get it handled. Look for plus points
and encourage and reward continued effort in that direction. If you bypassed
those evolved, transfer reasonability and action back to individuals involved or
someone else present. Back off and get others involved.
Author unknown.
Infidel2, an excellent list. That unknown author was a sharp blade to come up with all that.
thanks.
How many lies will the masses believe?… ALL of them.
Sadly, it seems you CAN fool all of the people all of the time.
So why was this guy’s name not mentioned? By the very definition he committed a “hate crime” hoax. Why are they hiding his name?
The story sounded fishy to me from the get go. They do not call themselves “daesh”. They think of that term as derogatory. So, an attacker would not be screaming that he was daesh.
Turned out the entire claim made was a LIE…No surprise really.. The Media ate it all up and regurgitated it without question or vetting…..
