FALSE FLAG MASS SHOOTING: Pittsburgh Synagogue Targeted by Deep State-Directed Terrorist Attackhttp://va.topbuzz.com/s/MvvSrv Russia News Now
We will never know if this alleged shooting even took place because of the highly radioactive target and circumstances  distinguishes this particular false flag mass shooting from all the others is that a synagogue was quite deliberately targeted.
necessity for the Left to galvanize the vote on November 6th. here is no better way to accomplish that goal than to shoot up a Jewish synagogue because of the massive blowback that will now occur.  There is no other voting demographic, that can create a colossal reaction to this staged event, like the national Jewish community. he liberal Democrat Party has been supported majorly by the Jewish community for many years. http://stateofthenation2012.com/?p=106902  Is the synagogue shooting yet another hoax where nobody died or just a false flag psyop?
the  aftermath of this naked black op will be used to take away firearms nationwide unless it is exposed for what it truly is—a cynical false flag shooting staged to take away our guns.
“FALSE FLAGS” are LEGAL PROPAGANDA Produced by the Department of Defense 
But the narrative and the evidence never seem to match up.  How odd that at Sandy Hook and at San Bernardino there were so many responders from federal agencies and that other drills were already happening on the same day just a mile away.  Coincidence seemed unlikely for one event. official story” that was “fed” to the news agencies was filled with holes on purpose.  When 450 responders showed up in San Bernardino, including FEMA, ATF, Homeland Security, FBI, DoD, and all local agencies, within 14 minutes and had their lawn chairs and coolers set up while most of them walked around aimlessly with no worries in the world, we couldn’t take it anymore.  We had always known that “false flags” usually precede severe military action State of the Nation

A mass shooting occurred at the Tree of Life – Or L'Simcha (Hebrew: קהילת עץ החיים – אור לשמחה‎)[4] synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on October 27, 2018, while Shabbat morning services and a bris were being held. Eleven people were killed and six were injured. The sole suspect, 46-year-old Robert Bowers, was arrested and charged with 29 federal and at least 30 state crimes.[2][3]
The Anti-Defamation League said it believes this is "the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in the history of the United States". It is the largest mass shooting in the United States since the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting eight months earlier.[5]

Background[edit]

Tree of Life – Or L'Simcha is a Conservative Jewish synagogue. The synagogue describes itself as a "traditional, progressive, and egalitarian congregation".[6]
It is located in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of PittsburghPennsylvania, 1 mile (1.6 km) east of Carnegie Mellon Universityand about 5 miles (8.0 km) east of downtown Pittsburgh.[6][7] The Squirrel Hill neighborhood is one of the largest predominantly Jewish neighborhoods in the United States and has historically been the center of Pittsburgh's Jewish community, with 26 percent of the city's Jewish population living in the area.[8][9]
Tree of Life, founded in 1864 in downtown Pittsburgh, merged in 2010 with the recently-founded Or L'Simcha.[10] The modern synagogue building, located at the intersection of Wilkins Avenue and Shady Avenue in Squirrel Hill, was built in 1953; it rents space to Dor Hadash (Hebrewדור חדש‬), a Reconstructionist congregation, and New Light, another Conservative congregation.[11][12][13] The synagogue's main sanctuary has a capacity of 1,250 people.[14]

Incident[edit]

The suspect, described as a "bearded heavy-set white male", entered the building and shouted, "All Jews must die!" before opening fire.[12] The shooting took place during scheduled Shabbat morning services and a bris.[7][2][15] A member of the Jewish Federation of Pittsburgh told reporters that between 60 and 100 people were inside the building at the time of the incident.[16]
Police received calls describing the attack from people barricaded in the building during the shooting, beginning at 9:54 a.m. EDT (13:54 GMT).[17][18] At 9:59 a.m., police arrived at the synagogue.[19][18] At 10:30 a.m. tactical teams entered the building, and at 11:08 a.m. the suspect crawled out of the room in which he was hiding on the synagogue's third floor, surrendered, and told police: "All these Jews need to die."[18]

Victims[edit]

Eleven people were killed, including three on the ground level, four in the synagogue's basement, and one other in the building.[20] Six others were injured, including four police officers who were shot.[17] The majority of the victims were transported to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital and UPMC Mercy, while the suspect was transported to Allegheny General Hospital.[17][21][22]
The 11 victims who were killed were:[23][24]
  • Joyce Fienberg, 75
  • Rich Gottfried, 65
  • Rose Mallinger, 97
  • Jerry Rabinowitz, 66
  • Cecil Rosenthal, 59
  • David Rosenthal, 54
  • Bernice Simon, 84
  • Sylvan Simon, 86
  • Daniel Stein, 71
  • Melvin Wax, 88
  • Irving Younger, 69

Suspect[edit]

Local authorities identified the suspect as Robert Bowers, a 46-year-old resident of Baldwin, Pennsylvania.[25][26][27] After a shootout with police, he was taken into custody.[28] While receiving medical care, he told a SWAT officer that he "wanted all Jews to die" and that Jews "were committing genocide to his people" according to a criminal complaint filed in Allegheny County.[29] He was subsequently transported to a hospital.[28][30] Bowers was armed with an AR-15 rifle (considered an assault weapon) and three handguns.[2][7][30]
Bowers has been charged with 29 federal criminal counts, including obstructing the free exercise of religious beliefs (a hate crime) and using a firearm to commit murder.[2][3][31] The federal charges include 11 counts of obstruction of exercise of religious beliefs resulting in death, 11 counts of use of a firearm to commit murder during a crime of violence, four counts of obstruction of exercise of religious beliefs resulting in bodily injury to a public safety officer, and three counts of use and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence.[31]Bowers was also charged with at least 30 state counts, including 11 counts of criminal homicide, six counts of aggravated assault and 13 counts of ethnic intimidation.[2][3]
Bowers' Gab social media profile was registered in January 2018 under the handle "onedingo", and the account's description was: "jews are the children of satan. (John 8:44) --- --- the lord jesus christ is come in the flesh". The cover picture was a photo with the number 1488, which is used by neo-Nazis and white supremacists to evoke David Lane's "Fourteen Words" and the Nazi slogan Heil Hitler. Bowers had published posts supporting the white genocide. Bowers also stated supporters of the QAnon conspiracy theory were "deluded" and being tricked.[32][33][34] He also reposted content by other anti-Semitic, neo-Nazi, and Holocaust-denying users,[35][36][37] and he criticized President Donald Trump for being a "globalist, not a nationalist"[38] and for supposedly being controlled and surrounded by too many Jews. Bowers stated on his Gab account “There is no #MAGA [Make America Great Again] as long as there is a [Jewish] infestation.”[39][27][40][41] After the shooting, Gab contacted the FBI and suspended Bowers' profile.[37]
A month before the attack, Bowers posted photos showing the results of his target practice, and a photo of his three handguns, calling them his "glock family".[36] In the post, he identified the .357 SIG handguns as Glock 31Glock 32, and Glock 33.[35]
In the weeks before the shooting, Bowers reportedly made antisemitic posts directed at the HIAS-sponsored National Refugee Shabbat,[42] in which Pittsburgh's Tree of Life Synagogue was participating.[43][44][45][46] Among other things, Bowers is reported to have claimed that Jews were aiding members of Central American caravans moving towards the United States border and to have referred to members of those caravans as "invaders".[47] Shortly before the attack, in an apparent reference to immigrants to the United States, Bowers posted on Gab that "HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I'm going in."[27][48][49]

Response[edit]


Governor Wolf makes a statement about the shooting.
Governor Tom WolfTwitter Verified Badge.svgfrom Twitter
@GovernorTomWolf
Anti-Semitism has absolutely no place in our commonwealth. Any attack on one community of faith in PA is an attack against every community of faith. I want the Jewish community to know that we stand in support of you as we together mourn this senseless act of violence.
27 October 2018[50]
President Donald Trump, Governor Tom Wolf, his running mate Braddock Mayor John Fetterman, and Pittsburgh City Councilman Corey O'Connor released statements about the incident through Twitter.[51] Trump called the shooting a wicked, anti-Semitic act of "pure evil."[51] He also opined that the shooting was preventable: "If there was an armed guard inside the temple, they would have been able to stop him".[52][53][54]He also suggested that cases such as this call for the death penalty.[55][54] Michael Eisenberg, a former president of Tree of Life – Or L'Simcha congregation, said that the synagogue did have a police presence on the High Holy Days but that "on a day like today, the door is open. It's a religious service, you could walk in and out."[52]
Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, issued a statement saying the organization believes it is "the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in the history of the United States".[56][57][58][49]
The campus of Carnegie Mellon University was placed on lockdown and all university-sponsored activities were cancelled for the day.[13] Local residents were advised by police to remain in their homes and stay off the streets.[20] On the evening of the shooting, over 3,000 people gathered at the intersection of Murray and Forbes Avenues in Squirrel Hill for an interfaith candlelight vigil organized by students from nearby Taylor Allderdice High School.[59] Two additional vigils were also held in the neighborhood.[60]
As of the morning following the shooting, a GoFundMe account had raised about $300,000 of a $1 million goal for the synagogue to repair its building and assist the survivors and families of those killed.[61]
