Two explosions rocked the departure lounge of Zaventem airport in Brussels yesterday morning and, one hour later, another explosion occurred at the Maelbaek metro station. Reports indicate at least 30 have been killed and another 230 injured in the blasts.

The incidents are being called acts of terrorism and most reports have been careful to note the discovery of an Islamic State flag in a police raid in the Schaebeek district of Brussels that (we are told) is related to the attack.

One man has now reportedly been arrested in connection with the incident and two brothers–identified as Khalid and Brahim El Bakraoui–have been blamed for the apparent suicide bombing at the airport.

As news and information continues to come in related to the attacks Corbett Report members are encouraged to leave links, information and analysis in the comments section of this post. This thread will be the basis for ongoing Corbett Report reporting on the events in the coming days.

  1. Hello friends. Well, I’ve finally got the internet up and running in my new place…and I logged in to discover the latest European terror event already clogging up the news feeds. You know what that means: time to start sharing links and parsing the information. Allow me to start with a couple of eerily prescient warnings of today’s carnage:

    Turkey’s Erdogan Warns Of Attacks In Brussels Four Days Before Event Took Place
    http://www.activistpost.com/2016/03/erdogan-warns-of-attacks-in-brussels-four-days-before-event.html

    and

    Belgium warned of more terror before airport attack
    http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-brussels-airport-terrorist-attack-belgium-20160322-story.html

    Note that the latter report references a meeting of top American and European officials, foreign policy “experts” and journalists held in Brussels just last week that apparently included predictions of just such an attack. The meeting was hosted by the “German Marshall Fund,” an organization I have not looked deeply into yet. If someone wants to start do some digging to find out more about the GMF, its activities, and the meeting last week, that might be a fruitful avenue of exploration.

    • Could this be connected to Jean Claude Van Damme’s recent statement on the Rockefellers and Rothschilds picking the president… the “Muscles from Brussels”: https://youtu.be/Uleldtc-cJE

      • Well, that’s not helping at all, Van Damme is famous in the French-speaking show business for being the Alpha Dog of stupidity. Now every people who think by themselves (aka “conspiracy theorists”) will be vilified as thinking like Van Damme… I wonder if the women on the left (Christine Ockrent) hasn’t briefed him before the show to say that to ridicule think kind of thinking. She is Belgian as well, she was a famous speaker for prime time news on French TV for decades, wife of Bernard Kouchner (the “French Doctor” head of Doctor Without Borders, who got himself dirty in organ trafficking during the Yugoslavia war via the network of “Yellow Houses”) and has been a Bilderberg attendee at least 3 times. She has been questioned on a TV once about Bilderberg (and links to Rockefeller), you don’t need to speak French to understand her sarcasms when she says “Quelle horreur” (“How horrific”) in the first seconds: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xx8z37_polony-vs-ockrent-le-bilderberg-et-la-deontologie-journalistique_news I don’t know if she is using Van Damme or if he is an accomplice, but that’s not helping truth…

      • ISGP.nl offers (as often) very useful data.

        See http://www.isgp.nl/global_power_structures and search “GMF”:

        This leads to an interesting list that connects even stronger in Gladio A and B:

        German Marshall Fund (GMF)
        David Rockefeller | C. Douglas Dillon | Robert Ellsworth | Gabriel Hauge | John McCloy | Willy Brandt | James Conant | 2st Baron Sherfield (Makins) | Suzanne Woolsey | Zoellick | Holbrooke | Rozanne Ridgway | Ronald Asmus, Jeffrey Bergner and Robert Kagan (Transatlantic fellows/associates) | Walther Kiep | Ian Lesser (executive director Transatlantic Center). 2011 conference: Davignon | Paula Dobriansky | Count Alexander Lambsdorff | David Ignatius | Bruce Jackson | Jim Kolbe | David Kramer | Pascal Lamy | Wilfried Martens | Randy Scheunemann | Robert Zoellick | Marc Grossman | Enders Wimbush (senior director for foreign policy and civil society) | Alexandra de Hoop Scheffer (transatlantic fellow and Paris bureau chief; daughter of Jaap) | Federica Mogherini (fellow)

        Search these people (in the same page) to see in which they participate further leads to an interesting network of: NATO, Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission, military, Brookings Institute, Rockefeller Foundation, Banking, Pilgrims Society, etc.

    “Only days ago in Brussels, as Western leaders celebrated the
    arrest of a key terrorist suspect, Belgian officials warned that
    there were dozens more jihadists at large in the city and that
    more attacks were being planned. They couldn’t have known how
    right they were.”

    How fast, frequent and FAKE terrorism could sink the EU
    The ROI (return on investment) from making FAKE attacks

    FAKE attacks are made in the next year by self-activating, superempowered
    individuals, the costs would be incalculable.
    The successful terrorist attacks on Brussels and Paris have left

  3. I am of two minds with this recent horrific event but see a commonality to them both. The authorities are tying individuals of the Brussels attacks to the Paris attacks. The Paris attacks have had some controversy surrounding them as to authenticity as to whether these were staged by unknown behind the scene conspirators or as purported true terrorist attacks. So we can see the necessity for making this connection to lend support to the Paris events as proclaimed, if indeed they were some type of covert operation to further goals of secretive agents or not. The Brussels attacks, if we dare consider just about anything we encounter in the media as approximating truth, seem to be an escalation of terror events in Europe. Whether they are actual true blow back events is very difficult to ascertain or something plotted or allowed to take place is generally immaterial in the grand scope of things. What we do know is that these events are used by the agents of the NWO (I hate this acronym but it is concise) to further their agendas which are being implemented on so many fronts simultaneously. Be that as it may, this attack on the complicit citizenry of Belgium will be used to further lock down the E.U in aiding the financial-corporate take over of nation states to be replaced with a world wide structure of corporatocracy; administered by the western elite under police state governance. The masks used from behind which this cabal is orchestrating their operations are many and varied. The U.N IPCC-Agenda 21-Smart growth-AGW, which James has exposed so completely recently, is but one. Terrorism and human wave “bio weaponry” immigration is another. Corporate rights deals masquerading as trade deals add another. Plan out right overt and covert military, economic (sanctions etc) and internal interference (NGOs – diplomatic coercion etc) actions as in Ukraine and the Mid East and many other places constitute another action front. The orchestrated coming financial collapse poses another front. I could go on but why? The only respite seems to be the Russian Federation under the Putin regime as a dissident entity within the NWO-BIS system. With China’s elites it is very difficult to determine how her actions on the world stage are to be interpreted but my observation tends toward these Chinese elites straddling the fence waiting for the deal they want. Other nation’s elites also seem to be practicing a wait and see attitude. All the while the NWO is acting to break down the idea of nation states and to erase political boundaries as anti thesis to their end goals. Cultural shock for the peoples of these states will be traumatic and useful as human reservations come into view. However, unintended consequences are always a problem for the NWO that they must continually jump ahead of in order to steer towards their goals before the new tangent gets too far off course and begins to pose a real threat. One such is the growing popularity of politically far right nationalistic movements declaring cultural sovereignty, being a big part of their draw with the waves of culturally different people now taking place. As the NWO has a fascist structure these far right groupings will be easily assimilated with structural changes to societies under their control being made later as their leaders are brought into the fold one way or the other. So this is my thesis of how we get from the recent events in Europe and connect them to the overall planning. Whether theses attacks are honest events or not I believe really doesn’t matter all that much, especially to those caught in the bomb blasts and their friends and kinfolk. After all is said and done the proles in 1984 were blissfully ignorant and not totally unhappy in their existence. Only the Winston Smith’s of this world are at unease.

  4. The GMF or German Marshall Fund is an American think tank that focuses on the
    transatlantic relationship between the U.S. and Europe.

    The incomplete Wikipedia page for them is available here:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Marshall_Fund

    Their main website is here:
    http://www.gmfus.org/

    They have a youtube channel and there’s quite a few lenghty videos from the
    Brussels Forum 2016, which took place from 18-20 March at Steigenberger Wiltchers’s Hotel, Brussels. Here some links to the videos from their website:

    http://www.gmfus.org/search/Brussels%20Forum%202016

    I tried to watch this one hour discussion video with the NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiC7tTGUle4

    …but I could not put up with all U.S. govt propaganda spewing forth from everyone’s mouth for more that seven minutes.

    Well, that’s my little bit of digging….

  5. Hello



    I’ve been following the news all day from 3,5 hours after the first attack
At

    12.30 hr. there was already the news that the Eiffel tower in Paris would be lighted in the Belgium national collars. (Who would think of that at that time already?)



    15.33 hr On TV they said there was extra police at the Dutch border, BNR Business News Radio had a reporter there saying, “Police hanging against the guardrail and cars were only slow down a bit”.



    15.45 TV reports a bomb belt has been exploded by special forces. (Who leaves such a thing?)



    16.03 All media (already) are showing a picture off the three suspects



    16.10 A witness at a train (in the morning) stopt from Brussels to Amsterdam at the Hoofddorp train station said. “The window wash smashed with force by police (most violent) and we needed to go outside the train with hands on our head to be registered at a nearby hotel.”



    17.00 hr TV reports that IS claimed the bombing



    They found a Kalashnikov at the airport and nobody I heard reporting any shooting all day.

    • I live in Paris and similar things happened after the Bataclan attacks. I was online on Facebook and this popup thing appeared and said ‘let people know you’re ok in the Paris terror attacks’. I had no idea what was happening so turned on the news – the attacks were just underway, there were apparently ‘hostages’ being taken at the Bataclan (though it seems the media quickly dropped that story) and yet there was this Facebook pop up already? Then I saw on the news that the Empire State Building and UK Parliament were already lighted up using the French flag’s colours, still on the very evening the attack was going down- which was a Friday night. How could such efforts have been co ordinated without prior arrangement?

  6. On the “ritualistic” side, I just wanted to call everyone’s attention to a particular set/combination of numbers…

    The explosion near the EU buildings occurred at “9:11” on the “22nd” of March.

    11, 22 and 33 are well-known Masonic numbers (and 7 is quite a special number among secret societies too: https://web.archive.org/web/20150601090304/http://www.danielestulin.com/2011/11/16/tavistock-el-poder-de-una-imagen-i-parte/)

    11 of March in Madrid, 11 of September in the USA, now 22 of March in Brussels (and also 7 of July in London)… The only reason why you don’t see 33 appearing also is because there is no such day or month.

    The previous attacks in Paris occurred on “Friday the 13th” of month 11. The number of the flight that started the 9/11 attacks was 11. John F. Kennedy was killed on 11/22. Etc.

    Everyone that seriously looks at these kind of events cannot conclude that these are all just coincidences (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Kk22CeJ2WY#t=5m56s).

    «Then at 9:11 a.m. — the timing may just have been an eerie coincidence — a bomb tore through a car in the rear part of a subway train»
    — “The New York Times”, 23/03/2016, http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/23/world/europe/brussels-airport-explosions.html

  7. The official investigations conducted after unfortunate events like this always seem to require the general public to suspend disbelief… For example, are we to assume that the following bit of information is worth believing? How convenient it is for those involved in the official investigation to regularly come across this kind of “evidence.”

    From the oh-so-objective and independent New York Times:

    “The Belgian prosecutor said the authorities found a recently composed will — which was possibly a suicide note — of the elder brother involved in the Brussels bombing, Ibrahim el-Bakraoui, 29, on a discarded computer in a garbage can. The will expressed his fear of being caught and ending up in a prison cell.”

    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/24/world/europe/brussels-attack.html?smid=tw-share&_r=0

    Let that one sink in for a minute. I could draw parallels and speak about the absurdity of such a find, but I think I’d be preaching to the choir.

    • Saw a similar post about the Laptop in the garbage bin on RT.

      https://www.rt.com/news/336895-brussels-computer-isis-data/

      What are the chances of someone finding it, opening it, turning it on, knowing the password and finding the letter on it.

      Is this Brussels version of the passport being found blocks from the World Trade centres on 911?

  8. A couple of articles, all based on the info from the same anonymous “Government minister” source (UK specific), a couple of days prior to the attacks – in my opinion examples of MSM manipulation / co-ordination to keep the fear agenda at maximum:

  9. JAMES!!! Brother you have to check this out!!! I found it last night, and it goes into some connections this ‘event’ has with a rich Jewish ‘business’ man with connections to an Oslo attack. Must see!!!
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzoyHMi2isQ

    • Hey,

      There is a Thon hotel just at the corner. Thus, it must have been people who work there.

      What puzzles me more is why was the metro not stopped after the airport explosions (more than one hour before)?

      They paralyzed the city some months ago (metro included) and nobody thought about stopping the metro on Tuesday?

      By the way I was in the next metro which was one stop before Maalbeek, walked by Maalbeek station immediately after the blast and saw the horrendous scene.

      • You live in Brussels? Wow. So glad you weren’t hurt. Do take care… =)

  10. The first thing that’ comes to mind is, I wonder if an Israeli company manages the security at this airport because it has the Mossad’s fingerprints all over it.
    Glad you’re up and running again, James, as I have missed you this last week. Hope your new home is comfortable. Stay safe, our friend.
    Tess

    • Hi tamurdock and everyone,

      indeed your suspicion may be correct, as the company that manages security for Brussels airport appears to be the former European division of the meanwhile infamous ICTS International N.V.
      http://www.ictseurope.com/global-locations/belgium

      Founded in 1982 by former Shin Bet agent, headed by Menachem Atzmon, Supervisory Board member of ICTS International since 1999, controlling shareholder and since 2004 chairman of the company, ICTS’s activities “consist primarily of the development of integrated technological solutions designed for enhancing processing time of passengers at airports and other gateways and the establishment and operation of motion-based entertainment theaters in the USA”
      http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20040805005639/en/ICTS-International-N.V.-Chairman-Appointed

      ICTS Europe was incorporated as a separate company in 1999 however, being acquired by Fraport AG, the owner and operator of Frankfurt Airport in 2002 so the connection up until this day is not very clear (at least from what I read).
      http://www.ictseurope.com/about/who-we-are/our-history

      ICTS International appeared to have focused more on the American market, with its new subsidiary I-SEC handling aviation security in Europe.
      http://www.icts-int.com/content6e03.html?id=13

      So again, ties are not well established at this point. If however, it may be interesting to note
      ICTS International’s involvement in
      the Shiphol „underwear bomber“ incident
      http://www.haaretz.com/israeli-firm-blasted-for-letting-would-be-plane-bomber-slip-through-1.261107

      it’s implication in missing several of the alleged 9/11 hijackers who allegedly flew out of Boston’s Logan airport on September 11th 2001 and handling of security at the Charles de Gaulle Airport outside Paris when “shoe bomber” Richard Reid boarded a US-bound plane on December 22, 2001.ICTS furthermore seemed to have handled security for London’s bus network during July7, 2005
      http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2010/01/f253-j16.html

      Happy Easter everyone,
      Ben

  11. I have a few points to make which I don’t think have been previously covered.

    First – it makes no sense to use a suicide bomber to attack an airport. How difficult is it to leave a suitcase lying around and detonate it remotely? If you were an ISIS mastermind and you had a couple of suicide-ready jihadis, wouldn’t you direct them at a higher value target, of which Brussels is particularly well-supplied. The same point applies to 7/7 in London.

    Second – with regard to the arrest of Paris mastermind, from a security perspective, it makes no sense to make make such a public spectacle of the arrest. If he was indeed a terrorist mastermind, he should have been arrested discretely and then interrogated before his fellow-jihadis were aware of it.

    With regard to the explosions, the Daily Mail has the locations strangely close: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/03/22/14/32748AC600000578-3504058-image-a-1_1458657957574.jpg Wouldn’t highly trained suicide bombers make sure they didn’t set off their devices too close to each other?

    After 4 days, there does seem to be a lack of named victims. I haven’t even seen a list of nationalities.

  12. yes and apparently at least Israel’s minister of science, technology and space (?!) thinks this to could be the right step as well

    “Many in Europe have preferred to occupy themselves with the folly of condemning Israel, labelling products, and boycotts. In this time, underneath the nose of the continent’s citizens, thousands of extremist Islamic terror cells have grown,” Akunis wrote on Facebook.

  13. I would like to highlight a blogger, who is a bit esoteric but seems to have an understanding of how the cabal works. He ties in many pieces of information from around the world to draw a picture of how the global stage is being setup for the hidden agenda.

    An excerpt …
    All this being said, don’t allow yourself to be gripped by fear during the Summer from Hell. Realize that it’s just a choreographed public relations campaign to help the globalists launch their New World Order this year. Compared to the total global population, the number of deaths will be insignificant; there will be no “90% depopulation.” The faux-truthers offer such predictions to scare you so you’ll be relieved when the New World Order “saves humanity from destruction.”

    B. whereas for over 40 years this organization has eluded all democratic controls and has been run by the secret services of the states concerned in collaboration with NATO.
    C. fearing the danger that such clandestine networks may have interfered illegally in the internal political affairs of Member States or may still do so.
    D. whereas in certain Member States military secret services (or uncontrolled branches thereof)were involved in serious cases of terrorism and crime as evidenced by various judicial inquiries.
    E. whereas these organizations operated and continue to operate completely outside the law since they are not subject to any parliamentary control and frequently those holding the highest government and constitutional posts have claimed to be in the dark as to these matters.

    F. whereas the various ‘GLADIO’ organizations have at their disposal independent arsenals and military resources which give them an unknown strike potential, thereby jeopardizing the democratic structures of the countries in which they are operating or have been operating,..”

    ….

    “2. Protests vigorously at theassumption by certain US military personnel at SHAPE and in NATO of the right to encourage the establishment in Europe of a clandestine intelligence and
    operation network; ..”

    Exerpts from p. 16-17/131 of the official EU document viewed at:

    http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=OJ:JOC_1990_324_R_0186_01&rid=1

  15. So the EU Parliament officially has the info and so does the MSM. Gladio created by US via SHAPE offially exists. US did not give information for the official EU Parliament inquiry during 90’s, only denied the exitence of Gladio. I’m not aware of any official EU follow-ups after that.

  16. I noticed “odd” commentary in this vid:

    Guy in Strong German accent: “what is was? a truck? or was it a terrorist?”

    Truck?
    he then asks someone “will it happen once/jetzt more times? nein? many times or? oh i see”

    How would one expect someone to know that?

    Cursing American guy? “where are the fucking soldiers?” German guy: “the soldiers can do also do nothing”

    What soldiers?
