Bastille Day Truck Attack
The cargo truck used in the attack
On Bastille Day (July 14th) in France, a 19 tonne cargo truck plowed through a crowd of people on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France - killing 86 people and wounding 450, this attack actively extended the state of emergency which was declared after the Bataclan massacre in Paris to last until 2017.
This attack alongside the extension of the state of emergency also gave a further justification to increase airstrikes in Syria - in which France said they were targeting ISIS but considering that France is part of NATO and has openly said they wish to overthrow the government of Assad it's rather questionable to say the least, an excerpt from an article describing this reads
as follows:
"Immediately after the attacks, the country launched fresh air strikes against Iraq and Syria with the support of British prime minister David Cameron. The air raids were launched from France's recently deployed Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier capable of supporting airstrikes against the Islamist State in Iraq and Syria. The country's ongoing military operation in the region, called Operation Chammal, was launched in September 2014 and has been backed by both the United States and the United Kingdom.
While currently France has extended a state of emergency and has vowed to ramp up its military actions in Syria and Iraq, the two countries fighting Islamic State militants, other developed nations have also joined hands to launch a coordinated war.
Condolence messages have been flowing in from around the world, condemning the attack and showing solidarity with France. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev tweeted earlier that Europe and Asia must unite against terrorism. 'Terrorists and their sponsors only understand the language of force, and we may use it,' he said in a tweet."
When you consider that they have been actively funding 'Syrian rebels', also known as Islamic terrorists, in a bid to topple the regime of Assad it would make no sense for the same radicals they fund to attack them unless it was to try and rationalize a further
war effort in Syria under the guise of stopping ISIS; because why would you bomb the rebels trying to overthrow the government when you want it toppled? So already the motivation for the attack makes no sense as it's rather unbelievable that they'd bite the hand
that feeds them.
A few journalists had doubted that ISIS was directly responsible for the attacks themselves, one article from a woman named Amira Hass highlights this reasonable doubt over ISIS responsibility:
"According to the news site L'Obs, even after ISIS announced that the perpetrator of the Nice attack, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, was its 'soldier,' there is still no evidence that his motives were ISIS-related. Until Saturday afternoon, sources close to the investigation told a reporter from L'Obs that they had found no documents connecting him to ISIS or its activists. Perhaps as the investigation proceeds old connections will surface with activists in Nice. Perhaps it will emerge that he himself sought to ascribe global significance to his actions and urges (but if so, why did he not leave a message of some sort in a clear and readily accessible place?).
Both ISIS, for its own reasons, as well as its enemies and victims want to give 'significance' to the horrific slaughter: It is easier to place it in the context of the big, eternal picture of a dichotomist war between good and evil (the West versus jihadist Islam, or vice versa), than to explain it as the actions of a disturbed, violent, frustrated, unbalanced loner, a petty male criminal.
With that as the interpretation for the mass attack, France is preparing a security-related solution — extending the state of emergency, upgrading surveillance methods and administrative detention of the 'population with tendency' (that is, the Muslims) — and intensifying war (through more assaults and increased military involvement in Syria and Iraq). These are precisely the solutions that frighten and worry leftists and writers of Muslim origin living in the West. They believe that these solutions create just the division that ISIS wants – between Muslims living in the West and the rest of the population."
This article really says it all; they want to paint ISIS as this massive threat to the entire western world and civilization as a whole so that's why we need to continue military operations in Syria and Iraq, but to really peel back this let's take a look at the accused attacker, a Tunisian migrant to France named Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel.
An image of Bouhlel, date unknown
Bouhlel was painted as a devout Islamic fundamentalist that had ties to ISIS by the French media, but this is a questionable assertion considering that Bouhlel regularly took drugs, drank, ate pork
and was a bisexual who didn't practice Islam until shortly before the truck attack itself, in which he was supposedly radicalized by ISIS in the short span of two weeks. All of this made
him an unlikely candidate to become an Islamic terrorist, let alone one with ties to a Jihadist organization in Syria.
However as these questions piled up regarding his unlikely connections to ISIS the mainstream media was provided with an ISIS propaganda video on July 22nd, however the problem here resides in that the descriptions of this
video seem to be based on not one but numerous ISIS videos where they show footage of the attack happening (alongside footage of attacks not committed by ISIS), they've also showcased people like Omar Mateen and Stephen Paddock as being their "fighters", so this
isn't really proof that they organized it either.
Another odd detail is that one of the screenshots of the video itself are taken directly from a video published by the AFP (Agence France-Presse) on the 15th.

These are the only images provided, alongside a vague description of the video itself, it's a clear example of media manipulation at it's core, as for the 3D animation image it can be found at (00:15) in the below video:

However I think the most important detail to mention about this attack is the only video filmed of the truck before it rammed into the crowd was taken by a man named Richard Gutjahr, a supposed
independent German journalist that was present at the scene of the attack as well as the Munich shooting in Germany that happened on July 22nd, a total of 8 days later.
What's more important than his presence at both attacks is that he married a woman named Einat Wilf, a former officer of
Israeli Unit 8200, which serves underneath Aman (Israeli military intelligence) - also note that Unit 8200 was also credited with the creation of Stuxnet.
But with that bit of information made clear let's take a look at the footage that Gutjahr filmed with his smartphone.

This attack is certainly questionable; following in the footsteps of other large Islamist attacks like the Charlie Hebdo shooting, Hypercacher supermarket siege and Bataclan massacre which all ended up oddly benefitting the narrative of NATO's neverending war on
terror and the French government's foreign intervention in Syria, there are suggested French intelligence and MOSSAD connections to the attack which should be noted when discussing this attack in a critical perspective.
A full archive of the videos (including the unedited footage of dead bodies) can be found here - I wouldn't link to an archive page that promotes the 'no
deaths' crisis actor theory normally but this is the only posting of the original videos I can find on archive.org.
