Here it is: the anatomy of how a false flag drive events in a certain direction. Look at the starting assumption. "We begin by assuming the attackers are Islamist militant groups."
Excuse me?? Why??? Why do we begin with that assumption?? Because that is the assumption that drives the events in a certain direction, you dummy.
What happens if we start with a different assumption? [crickets]
Well, who does that? Do you think the corporate media would ever start with a different assumption, an assumption implicating Mossad or the CIA? Surely you jest.
Don't miss the end of this piece. This whole thing hinges on the accused not being able to "demonstrate categorically" that they were not involved. Do you see? The accusation does not have to be true, it merely needs to stick. This is PURE PONEROLOGY.

Stratfor Analysis: Red Alert: Possible Geopolitical Consequences of Mumbai Attacks (via S O S)
Summary
If the Nov. 26 attacks in Mumbai were carried out by Islamist militants as it appears, the Indian government will have little choice, politically speaking, but to blame them on Pakistan. That will in turn spark a crisis between the two nuclear rivals that will draw the United States into the fray.
Analysis
At this point the situation on the ground in Mumbai remains unclear following the militant attacks of Nov. 26. But in order to understand the geopolitical significance of what is going on, it is necessary to begin looking beyond this event at what will follow. Though the situation is still in motion, the likely consequences of the attack are less murky.
We will begin by assuming that the attackers are Islamist militant groups operating in India, possibly with some level of outside support from Pakistan. We can also see quite clearly that this was a carefully planned, well-executed attack.
