Everyone’s Talking about “False Flags … Isn’t that Another Bogus Historical Conspiracy Theory?
More people are using the term “false flag” than ever before.
Some claim that the Boston marathon bombing, 9/11 and the Oklahoma City bombing were false flag attacks.
Others claim that anyone who uses the phrase “false flag” is a nut conspiracy theorist.
This post does not discuss Boston, 9/11 or Oklahoma City. It simply looks at whether there is any real historical concept regarding false flags.
What Is False Flag Terror?
“False flag terrorism” is defined as a government attacking its own people, then blaming others in order to justify going to war against the people it blames. Or as Wikipedia defines it:
False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one’s own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time; for example, during Italy’s strategy of tension.
The term comes from the old days of wooden ships, when one ship would hang the flag of its enemy before attacking another ship in its own navy. Because the enemy’s flag, instead of the flag of the real country of the attacking ship, was hung, it was called a “false flag” attack.
Indeed, this concept is so well-accepted that rules of engagement for naval, air and land warfare all prohibit false flag attacks.
Leaders Throughout History Have Acknowledged False Flags
Leaders throughout history have acknowledged the danger of false flags:
“This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.”
- Plato
“If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”
- U.S. President James Madison
“Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death”.
- Adolph Hitler
“Why of course the people don’t want war … But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship … Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
- Hermann Goering, Nazi leader.
“The easiest way to gain control of a population is to carry out acts of terror. [The public] will clamor for such laws if their personal security is threatened”.
- Josef Stalin
Governments from Around the World ADMIT that they Carry Out False Flag Terror
But don’t take our word for it.
Governments from around the world admit they carry out false flag terror:
- A major with the Nazi SS admitted at the Nuremberg trials that – under orders from the chief of the Gestapo – he and some other Nazi operatives faked attacks on their own people and resources which they blamed on the Poles, to justify the invasion of Poland. Nazi general Franz Halder also testified at the Nuremberg trials that Nazi leader Hermann Goering admitted to setting fire to the German parliament building, and then falsely blaming the communists for the arson
- The CIA admits that it hired Iranians in the 1950′s to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its democratically-elected prime minister
- Israel admits that an Israeli terrorist cell operating in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including U.S. diplomatic facilities, then left behind “evidence” implicating the Arabs as the culprits (one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to identify the bombers, and several of the Israelis later confessed) (and see this and this)
- The former Italian Prime Minister, an Italian judge, and the former head of Italian counterintelligence admit that NATO, with the help of the Pentagon and CIA, carried out terror bombings in Italy and other European countries in the 1950s and blamed the communists, in order to rally people’s support for their governments in Europe in their fight against communism. As one participant in this formerly-secret program stated: “You had to attack civilians, people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security” (and see this)(Italy and other European countries subject to the terror campaign had joined NATO before the bombings occurred). And watch this BBC special
- As admitted by the U.S. government, recently declassified documents show that in the 1960′s, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan to blow up AMERICAN airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes), and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil, and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba. See the following ABC news report; the official documents; and watch this interview with the former Washington Investigative Producer for ABC’s World News Tonight with Peter Jennings.
- 2 years before, American Senator George Smathers had suggested that the U.S. make “a false attack made on Guantanamo Bay which would give us the excuse of actually fomenting a fight which would then give us the excuse to go in and [overthrow Castro]“.
- And Official State Department documents show that – only nine months before the Joint Chiefs of Staff plan was proposed – the head of the Joint Chiefs and other high-level officials discussed blowing up a consulate in the Dominican Republic in order to justify an invasion of that country. The 3 plans were not carried out, but they were all discussed as serious proposals
- The South African Truth and Reconciliation Council found that, in 1989, the Civil Cooperation Bureau (a covert branch of the South African Defense Force) approached an explosives expert and asked him “to participate in an operation aimed at discrediting the ANC [the African National Congress] by bombing the police vehicle of the investigating officer into the murder incident”, thus framing the ANC for the bombing
- An Algerian diplomat and several officers in the Algerian army admit that, in the 1990s, the Algerian army frequently massacred Algerian civilians and then blamed Islamic militants for the killings (and see this video; and Agence France-Presse, 9/27/2002, French Court Dismisses Algerian Defamation Suit Against Author)
- Senior Russian Senior military and intelligence officers admit that the KGB blew up Russian apartment buildings and falsely blamed it on Chechens, in order to justify an invasion of Chechnya (and see this report and this discussion)
- According to the Washington Post, Indonesian police admit that the Indonesian military killed American teachers in Papua in 2002 and blamed the murders on a Papuan separatist group in order to get that group listed as a terrorist organization.
- The well-respected former Indonesian president also admits that the government probably had a role in the Bali bombings
- As reported by BBC, the New York Times, and Associated Press, Macedonian officials admit that the government murdered 7 innocent immigrants in cold blood and pretended that they were Al Qaeda soldiers attempting to assassinate Macedonian police, in order to join the “war on terror”.
- Although the FBI now admits that the 2001 anthrax attacks were carried out by one or more U.S. government scientists, a senior FBI official says that the FBI was actually told to blame the Anthrax attacks on Al Qaeda by White House officials (remember what the anthrax letters looked like). Government officials also confirm that the white House tried to link the anthrax to Iraq as a justification for regime change in that country
- Former Department of Justice lawyer John Yoo suggested in 2005 that the US should go on the offensive against al-Qaeda, having “our intelligence agencies create a false terrorist organization. It could have its own websites, recruitment centers, training camps, and fundraising operations. It could launch fake terrorist operations and claim credit for real terrorist strikes, helping to sow confusion within al-Qaeda’s ranks, causing operatives to doubt others’ identities and to question the validity of communications.”
- United Press International reported in June 2005:
U.S. intelligence officers are reporting that some of the insurgents in Iraq are using recent-model Beretta 92 pistols, but the pistols seem to have had their serial numbers erased. The numbers do not appear to have been physically removed; the pistols seem to have come off a production line without any serial numbers. Analysts suggest the lack of serial numbers indicates that the weapons were intended for intelligence operations or terrorist cells with substantial government backing. Analysts speculate that these guns are probably from either Mossad or the CIA. Analysts speculate that agent provocateurs may be using the untraceable weapons even as U.S. authorities use insurgent attacks against civilians as evidence of the illegitimacy of the resistance.
- Quebec police admitted that, in 2007, thugs carrying rocks to a peaceful protest were actually undercover Quebec police officers
- At the G20 protests in London in 2009, a British member of parliament saw plain clothes police officers attempting to incite the crowd to violence
- A Colombian army colonel has admitted that his unit murdered 57 civilians, then dressed them in uniforms and claimed they were rebels killed in combat
- U.S. soldiers have admitted that if they kill innocent Iraqis and Afghanis, they then “drop” automatic weapons near their body so they can pretend they were militants
The Bottom Line
The bottom line is that governments from around the world have – according to their own admissions – carried out false flags.
Any discussion about a specific terrorist attack cannot start with the assumption that it couldn’t be a false flag attack, or that it must be a false flag attack.
The facts of each attack must be examined on their own merits before reaching any conclusion.

Also, GW, don't forget that during the Virginia Resolution Crisis (1798?) Hamilton used the specific words "send the army into Virginia on an obvious pretext" and see if we can bait them into shooting back. Goes back a looooong way.
Also seems to be a particular fetish of Hamilton's...
If it's a media circus for more than a day, it's a false flag. The Government-Media Combine doesn't give that kind of publicity to competing terrorist groups.

Why Is 9/11 Such A Taboo Subject?
We Have To Ask Questions About 9/11!
That is a video interview with an expert about election fraud (which the mass media has tended to deliberately ignore) who speaks about investigating where the mass media's uses of the phrase "conspiracy theory" came from, or rather when that kind of public relations attack first became the primary public relations, propaganda responses. Not surprisingly, that first happened to deal with the stories about the assassination of President Kennedy, which, I believe, was the original act of murder that was behind the history leading to 9/11 mass murders!
Anyone who seriously takes enough time to look into history realizes that we are on an exponential growth curve of dishonesty, backed by coercions, which has become runaway systems of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence. Furthermore, there are no reasonable ways to avoid the conclusion that the American democratic republic is already practically dead, (like all the other fake democracies in the world are already practically dead.)
The increasing public awareness of "false flag attacks" is an aspect of the overall irreconcilable social polarizations, due to the basic social fact that force backed frauds control the real world, whereby a tiny minority are enable to screw the vast majority, automatically worse every day ... with no end in sight to that acceleration of social insanities ... other than its eventual collapse into chaos due to too much success from controlling civilization with huge lies.
In my view, the place to start with research, for whatever that is worth (i.e., practically nothing) into the control of society through the biggest bullies' bullshit is with the history of militarism, and the first of those goes back to writings in Ancient China, The Art of War, by Sun Tsu, which started by saying that "success in war depends on deceits" and ended by stating "spies are the most important soldiers." The European tradition about militarism, such as from Machiavelli and Clauswitz, etc., of course make the same observations.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erZ2YidTZp4
The Art of War
Sun Tsu
An hour and a half long documentary ... Yet another sensationalized for TV type show, but nevertheless, basically interesting material! It splices together the history of Sun Tzu, discussing the battles that he fought, and then reviews things that he wrote down, in context of American military history in Viet Nam war, and D-Day invasion, and American civil war, as examples. Of course, that points out, again and again, that importance of deceit and spies in war!
I emphasize to what an astonishing degree it was possible for successful conspiracy to have been conducted on large scales!
The D-Day Invasion was a great example of how deceits and double crossing spies worked to mislead the Germans so well! There were balloon tanks and trucks, & fake radio chatter, etc., all done so the Germans would be DECEIVED! There were subversions and turnings of German spies to act as double agents! In the end, the Germans were deceived about where the D-Day invasion landed. That big military operation worked as a successful conspiracy operation!
One of the typical things that people who automatically refuse to believe that 9/11 WAS a false flag deceit like to assert is that was NOT possible for any conspiracy to be successfully secret. However, history is full of examples of successful large scale conspiracy. Like the Manhattan Project, that built the first atomic bomb, was another example! Those who deny that 9/11 WAS a trick do so by making presumptions, which mostly ignore evidence and ignored many, many, historical examples!
I think that more people are aware of "false flag attacks" today because, like everything else, those have been on exponential growth curves! Therefore, we have not seen anything yet!
Furthermore, as many of my comments on Zero Hedge have discussed during the past few months, there are good theoretical ways to apply the basic concepts of energy systems to understand WHY human realities are ALWAYS organized lies, operating organized robberies. It is NECESSARILY the case that money is backed by murder, and the debt controls depend upon the death controls. The monetary and taxation systems are INSIDE of militarism.
Indeed, militarism is the supreme ideology. The backbone of militarism is successful deceits. Understanding false flag attacks plunges us through an infinite tunnel of deceits: As above, so below. As within, so without. The lies are different at every level.
In order to understand the world's financial systems, we must look at the history of War Kings, who created sovereign states, whose powers were covertly taken over by the Fraud Kings, the central banks. Furthermore, any genuinely deeper understanding of those historical trends must embrace, rather than reject, that death controls are the most important controls. However, since the real world has been organized by the wolves in sheep's clothing, while those wolves have taught the sheep to bleat their morality, we approach all of these issues in profoundly backwards ways.
Again, some of my previous comments that I have posted upon Zero Hedge have reviewed the highlights of that. The ways that we think about energy systems are backwards, because the ways that we think about entropy are backwards, DEEPLY AND TOTALLY BACKWARDS!
Therefore, I find almost no appreciation of the ways that we have all our mechanisms backwards, and therefore, continue to work on all our social problems in ways which are backwards. The magnitude of paradigm shifts that we need in our political science are directly related to the history of militarism, which reveals that warfare is the oldest and best developed social science, whose success was based upon deceits.
Facing those fundamental facts, as being inherent unitary mechanisms found throughout all human energy systems (as well as any other energy systems wherein deceits would be possible), is what we should attempt to do, although that necessarily plunges us through the infinite tunnels of deceits. All social problems manifest through infinite tunnels of deceits. Becoming more aware of particular false flag attacks are merely those cases where we sometimes bump into the sides of those infinite tunnels of deceits, as we plunge through them ...
(P.S. Such an image of travelling through tunnels has been dramatized in the Dr. Who TV series. The fundamental organizing idea is that everything in four dimensions manifests as some kind of energy system toroidal vortex, and therefore, since militarism was based on successful deceits, human history has primarily been toroidal vortices of deceits.)
When working as a machinist in the major aircraft industry, the knowledge about heat treating and tensile strengths of metals was part of a great education. There are many parts in an airframe that will not melt in most missile type explosions. LOTS!
What has been an amazing glaring question never answered when it come to the pentagon attack on 9/11 is, where's the plane boss? Never ever in the history of aero-crashes has an entire aircraft, much less a jumbo craft ever just completely disappear. And normally, the NTSB assemble what is left of the crashed plane in some hanger somewhere to study. Where was the plane in the hanger then?
These are just a few of the movies that came out back then that still offer the best proof of a few different drills going live that dreadful day, in this the largest SO FAR, of all the false flag events. Pray there are not any more real soon to be blamed on some poor innocent country, or another couple of kid patsies.

Same question about the 9-11 jet that supposedly crashed in Pennsylvania. No wreckage seen.
Yet they were able to find a perfectly intact "terrorist" passport at the scene of the WTC collapse, where the fire was hot enough to melt the insulated steel beams.
I am NOT sure what happened to actually cause the World Trade Center buildings to collapse. The contradictions regarding what burned, and what did not burn, were very strange! However, I am sure that the official story is absurd, and that the authorities deliberately did not do the proper official investigations that they should have done, but rather obstructed those, while the mass media helped them get away with that. We may never know now exactly what happened, BUT, there is no reasonable doubt that what did happen MUST have been some kind of false flag attack and inside job, because of the subsequent ways that the government and mass media behaved. Also, in the context of the dominant topics on the Zero Hedge site, regarding the financial affairs, 9/11 was extremely significant in causing later events, (as well as it being another aspect of the cover-up that the financial aspects of 9/11 events themselves were barely investigated by the authorities who should have done their best to do that!) The budgets of the official 9/11 investigations were ridiculously pathetic amounts, compared to the importance of the mass murders that were committed on that day! The more one learns, the worst the 9/11 story becomes!
The main things that 9/11 did were start more genocidal wars, and prepare for democidal martial law, in ways which were clearly planned and prepared well in advance of the actual events on 9/11/2001. However, it was also important how 9/11 provided the reasons for why the ground was laid for the financial events that led up to the current problems, flowing through the financial crises peaking in 2008.

Jeff Rense & Gerald Celente -
Americans On A Hamster Wheel To Hell
Skip to the 5:30 mark of that audio recording ...
Gerald Celente reviews the IMPORTANT ways that the events on 9/11/2001 led to the financial crises in 2008. The meaning of BOTH of those changes dramatically after one perceives that they were inside jobs. ...
Meanwhile, both Rense and Celente express their FEELING that we are being taken into some kind of insane war, or other, far worse, false flag terrorist events, which could quickly change everything beyond our ability to imagine that now ... Since the world's economy IS a vast Ponzi scheme, which has pushed debt slavery to numbers which are debt insanity, I can not imagine any other way that the ruling classes could resolve that, but to change gears dramatically, in some horrible ways than I could comprehend now ...
Yes, The Heart, I had already watched those two videos which you linked. There are now at least several dozen such videos, as well as countless articles. I have watched or read all of the ones that I ever became aware of, after seriously looking for them for several years. (As well, there were many that were available for a while in the past, but have since disappeared.)
Anyway, after spending enough time to exhaustively look at information about the 9/11/2001 events, I am completely convinced that those were an inside job, false flag attack.
... I have not taken as much time to look into all the material to the same degree about other events, and so, I am not quite as completely convinced about them. However, I would say that I am 95% convinced that the recent Boston bombings were some kind of false flag events. I am 98% convinced that the Oklahoma bombing was a false flag event, and so on and so forth ...
It is crucial to understand how that kind of social pyramid system could continue to operate to appreciate the degree to which people have been conditioned to not want to know! After decades of work on the funding of the political processes, and the resulting effects upon the monetary and taxation systems, I would say that about 90% of North Americans deliberately behave like political idiots, that do not want to understand how the money system really works.
That may be changing slightly in more recent times, since the financial crises have driven more people out of their previously presumed social habits, and forced more of them to begin to become aware of the degree to which we have a fundamentally fraudulent financial accounting system. However, as long as we stay down at less than 10% or 20% of the people understanding the basic facts about central banks, and fraction reserve banking, etc., then even those few percent that do wake up still can do nothing practical about changing anything anyways. Therefore, it is difficult to tell the difference between those who are so clueless that do not have a clue about how clueless they are, versus those who wake up somewhat, but still behave as if they were political idiots, because there, as yet, is nothing practical that they could do about that at present.
Of course, I have no way to actually know those social facts any better than my own little keyhole perception of society enables me, at the present time. However, I would not doubt that at least about 90% of North Americans do not understand the money system, and do not want to know. THAT ISSUE, ABOUT WHY THEY DO NOT WANT TO KNOW, IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
The same problem arises with respect to many other issues, that people COULD learn about, IF they wanted to. Not surprisingly, all those issues tend to have been labelled as crazy "conspiracy theories" by the mainstream mass media, which are mostly watched by morons who have been almost totally brainwashed to believe in the biggest bullies' bullshit.
In that context, I again point out the link that I gave above:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDADLpg1UXo#!
Starting at about the 5:30 mark into that video, Mark Crispin Miller discusses what he found out when he was researching his 2005 book, Fooled Again. The most interesting point that he made is that there is a DECLASSIFIED CIA document, from back in the 1960s, which explicitly states that they directed their operatives in the mass media to use the derogatory "conspiracy theory" style argument, in order to discredit theories about the assassination of President Kennedy.
I love the irony that it can be PROVEN that the use of the pejorative "conspiracy theory" phrase was itself adopted as a result of a real conspiracy between the government and mass media in the 1960s, when they first began to do that!
Of course, decades later, everything is WAY WORSE, and, as I said, still getting worse at an exponential rate, which means that we are near the next couple of doubling times into democidal martial law.
Of course, there is NO beginning to the history of false flag attacks ... They are as old as human history, and indeed, were probably practised back when there was no written history. However, there IS a beginning to the Federal government of the United States of America, and that reality has a relatively well-documented history, IF one wants to try to learn more about that.
I have found many interesting little pieces of the puzzles that leads me to believe that the similar groups of people who were behind the President Kennedy murder were also behind the 9/11 mass murders. I am NOT certain about that, however, it seems plausible, on the basis of what I feel are the historical facts that have interwoven during American history.
However, that being said, I then think we are totally screwed. The political processes are already almost completely corrupt. Election frauds have become rampant, and nothing can be done about that kind of paradoxical double-bind Catch 22 kind of problem. (Which again relates to why the few people who wake up still yet can not do anything which is practical and realistic about these kinds of runaway social insanities.)
My view is that the single murder, of the assassination of President Kennedy, which was gotten away with, has led to the mass murder on 9/11, which was also gotten away with. The people who did those things HAVE set up a situation where it appears that they will be able to get away with the mass murder of millions more Americans, in the foreseeable future.
As far as I can tell, there is no practical point in learning about any of these things, and therefore, I tend to sympathize with the majority of people who do not want to bother to learn about these things. The runaway exponential growth of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence, taking the form of globalized electronic fiat money frauds, backed by atomic bombs, is probably going to result in causing more genocidal wars, along with democidal martial law.
I do not see any practical or realistic ways to actually stop that from happening. In some senses, that has already happened, since there IS a runaway fascist plutocracy juggernaut, which has built a fascist police state, which IS going to turn most Americans into its road kill. For more than a Century, the best organized criminals have been covertly taking over the government of the USA, and that is now becoming very painfully obvious to anyone who wants to look and learn.
In my opinion, people like George Washington, by writing these kinds of articles, are most likely putting themselves on the list of people to be murdered, or to be disappeared, when those runaway systems that already exist finally change gears in American, to begin to more massive do that. Just like warfare has been developing at an exponential rate, the democidal murders of its own people by governments has been on a spiral of apparently exponentially increasing proportions.
Everything has been amplified by trillions of times by technology. However, the basic structure and ways of operations of the social pyramid systems have not changed. Therefore, the American fascist police state, driven by false flag attacks, is going to probably result in mass murders on a scale that becomes many orders of magnitude greater than any time in previous human history. Our current inverted totalitarianism is probably going to invert itself again, in more profoundly perverse ways.
Obviously, my view is that I too will probably be eventually murdered, although I am individually too insignificant to be specifically targeted. I see no other more probable future than that this runaway social insanity will eventually become even more completely mad, and therefore, destroy itself. I expect that the inside jobs that murdered a few, then murdered an order of magnitude more, then murdered another order of magnitude more, during the past several decades, are going to continue on their paths towards murdering orders of magnitude still more people in the next few decades.
The overwhelming vast majority of Americans have been reduced to Zombie Sheeple, who were routinely fleeced, and set up to be slaughtered. Just as their fleecing since the financial crises precipitated in 2008 (which were inside jobs too) have been doubling previous events, I expect that the mass murder of Americans by their own corrupt and crazy government will be doubling too, in the foreseeable future.
However, I can not imagine any practical and realistic political ways to prevent that from happening. The overwhelming vast majority of people do not want to know ... and even if they did, most others still yet do not, and so there is nothing that could actually be done ... The increasingly militarized police are becoming a monster that will eventually destroy themselves too, however, most of them are no better than the vast majority of the Zombie Sheeple with respect to understanding that. Articles like those written by George Washington appear to me to be way too little, too late, although, of course, I do not blame him for that. He does an excellent job of doing what he is attempting to do!
Since the only genuine solutions would require better real death controls, while nearly nobody understands or agrees with that, what seems surely going to happen is the continuation of deaths controlled by runaway deceits, which shall become worse than anything ever before in human history.
double
govern = control
ment = mind (mental, latin root)
government = control of the mind - mind control... get it?
false flag terror is a form of mind control - controlling you to worry about security verses expressing liberty. Give up your freedom and liberty in exchange for security.
Get it? Get it? Even the unwisest wizard knows this...
Great comment. But beyond your valid assertion, we have to look at the long term exposure of the massess to such mind control which is not hypnosis so much as it is a powerful conditioning that has made them what they are today.
Key question: How do you reverse that conditioning in an environment that promotes dependency and stifles innovation?
Unfortunately the masses' initial response to the awareness of false flag will be: Oh well, that's not my problem...let the government take care of it...
And I'm not being facetious...that will be the programmed response.
It's not, "What will it take to make them wake up ?"... It's instead, "What tools will be available to them to protect them from being violated and abused again once they are awake?"
Do they have the skills and survival instinct to fashion those tools and promote a social fabric resistant to tyranny in its myriad forms?
Like everything else in nature, there will the fit and the non-survivors.
It's not relegated to only the govt- Edward Bernays.
I've repeated it quite often: nature is about deception and humans are OF nature. BIG is just asking for trouble...
Am not sure but maybe worth considering that the idea of a government as mind control was the overt issue in ~eighteenth century Europe ... after the church failed to provide "security" from death, destruction, warfare, civil unrest everybody turned to the idea of people trading some free will for some protection under "Lords." Then just behavior came first, by following a ruler's laws for behavior the protection was assured but that soon spread to "thoughts." You had to have the right "attitude" be of the right "frame of mind." Some the Enlightenment or Clarification then was about how to get everybody voluntarily to "believe" the right things and conform to the definition of the "ideal citizen." The absolutist state/ monoarchy was the protection solution but the question became how far do the "subjects" have to carry their obedience to get the "protection?" Thoughts too? Supposedly democracy was the comprimise but even that can become a demoncracy of lemmings (as someone on zerohedge mentioned a while back I think). And here we are, false flags and no privacy. Thought control imposed two ways: through efforts to gain access to private thoughts by monitoring every possible communication stream and by manipulating perceptions of threat. Democracy only works if people pay attention.
Fear is an irrational emotion thus "living in fear" makes no sense (non sequiter.) no one can in fact "live in fear"...even if that's all they have (which of course it is not nor can ever be.) hope on the other is entirely rational...thus giving rise to fears of course ("too trusting" or "too arrogant") but never fear itself. Can't speak to "false flags" (by definition they cannot be proven) but certainly there is a wealth of data about how very small events can have momentous impacts on history. (one of my favorite studies...have a book right next to me on the subject.) Hitler himself is an interesting study given the numerous (amazingly they all failed) attempts on his life. One of the most significant of course is Jubal Early's "eyes and ears cavalry" arriving late for Robert E Lee at Gettysburg. By the time he arrived with the momentous news (massive Northern Army dug in) the battle lines had been formed and the battle of Gettysburg had begun. By far even more momentous was World War I ("the accidental war") itself. A single Prince's death started "the Great War" one of the most horrific events in all History. Indeed one could...and should argue in fact...that most history is the study of accidents. The one big exception of course is World War II.
Sheer nonsense from beginning to end. It was "Jeb" Stuart's cavalry, not Jubal Early's, whose lack of reconnassance Lee deplored; neither army was "dug in" to begin with; they bluyndered into each other in movement; etc.
Interesting article, it's rare that I find discussions of False Flags with supporting facts.
False Flag Terror is exactly what it says it is. It's manufactured terror. It usually can be seen by it's symbols;
Also - if the government knows about an attack but does nothing to prevent it and encourages it defacto in order to garner more power, THAT IS A FALSE FLAG and DESERVES AS MUCH SCRUTINY AS AN ORGANICALLY PLANNED FALSE FLAG, which I believe is not as common...
1. Timing is everything (looking at events surrounding the false flag terror for clues).
2. It sometimes takes years, decades or centuries to uncover false flags because they are committed by the most powerful people at the time - most really good ones have a half life of 7-10 years and then are fully uncovered 25+ years later and in some cases never acknowledged until the ruling junta is removed from power *(not talking about dems or repubs if they are one in the same).
3. Any media event that comes up out of nowhere and gets extensive media coverage, extended media coverage, is usually a false flag by default (why pay so much attention).
4. Clear benefactor and 'gainer' based on the terror events. Think of detroit underwear bomber and the x-ray machines they rushed into service... richard reid the shoe bomber... 911 TSA and DHS, drones...
To understand the false flag in context with America, consider this... the Presidency is a continuation - it's an office that is held by a man but that man assumes the previous man as he literally morphs into the presidency. This is very apparent by the upholding of many laws Bush enacted by Obama... the vast military and industrial energy complex that the president helms is one man that has been alive and in office since the 18th century. People don't undstand this very basic concept. Also, our money is printed and managed by a private corporation that is connected to the government via the treasury. The treasury is connected to the banking industry via the central bank (big ben's bank, private bank for elites) and therein lies the true false flag terror, our DOLLAR - remember that in the end, they want our freedoms and they want to control us and strip us of all assets and turn us into slaves.
Terror in general plays to our fears and false flag terror simply rushes the process that they create to appear natural.
Boston, 911, richard reid, underwear bomber, 7/11, 3/11, bp oil spill, okc bombing, pearl harbor... all false flags the government knew about or had a hand in planning... they stoke the tensions..

How to fight it - turn it off and don't talk about it. Let others know they shoudl check their facts and be adamant about your beliefs and the facts that back them up... dont' let anyone call you crazy.

As the living legend, brilliant scottish actor, comedian, humourist and all round good egg Gregor Fisher ( aka Rab C Nesbitt ) put it GW " i am not leaving this mortal soil with a dose of the scitters and the birdie song " it seems to me that if we substitute obuma phones and food stamps for the ussa sheeples this is where we are at! Come on USA you have fuck all to lose and everything to gain. Blood on the streets time folks not n the TV.
1,894 architects and engineers call for a new investigation of 9/11.

Note: this number is rising rather rapidly as of late. Perhaps there's a spreading concensus that the loss of liberty and growing polce state are getting out of hand. Should cross 2,000 next month.
Incidently, there's a petition that supporters may sign which currently numbers over 17,000.
Check the evidence.
I will begin by saying that of course False Flag attacks have occurred throughout history. That goes without saying. Admitting they never happen, or represent a conspiracy theory separate unto themselves is absurd.
That said, a good portion of the list provided were not actual false flags which took place. Many were just ideas which never saw the light of day. Some were just insipidly inspired commentary.
Knowing whether or not something is a false flag attack will always be difficult, but there are typically ways of finding out. Over time, the reason we know false flags occur is the same way we know all conspiracy theories are inherently unstable and nearly impossible to make stick - someone talks, or something fails. In every case listed, the ones which we know happened were the result of busted members of the conspiracy being caught, killed at the scene, or eventually talking.
Some who truly believe in conspiracies would say "this just proves there are more, because these are the only ones we know about". All things being equal, I'd say we know about them which means it's unlikely there are many more because of a simple reason. Secrets, particularly terrible secrets, are difficult to keep.
You gotta wonder about these conspiracy guys...and they are pretty much always guys, for whatever reason. They imagine an omniscient, omnipresent government with God-like powers over all things, great and small, yet they think they can bring it down by posting their 100%-evidence free speculations on Zerohedge. Really? Isn't this a government-run website, too? Don't I work for the NSA as well? How about Alex Jones? It's pretty obvious he's a shill, too.
You see, there's no limit to the imagination when it is unfettered by reality.
In the meantime, keep ignoring Israel's blatant, overt demands that NATO bomb Syria. Not conspiralicious enough, is it? No room for elaborate fictions and endless online speculation to get your paranoiac thrills. Just reality.
USS Maine? Gulf of Tonkin? Fast and Furious?
OKC bombing? A truck bomb parked out in the street in front of the building takes 90% of the steel reinforced concrete federal building down and hardly does any damage to surrounding buildings. Could it be the bombs were INSIDE the building while a small bomb destroyed the truck??
OKC - false flag or bungling bureaucrats going CYA after they fucked up trying to entrap their own citizens in an effort to justify their existence and increase their budget (rinse & repeat fast & furiously) ? HUGE DIFFERENCE
USS Maine - no evidence, pure conjecture, but like Rahm says...
Gulf of Tonkin - a forrest of mirrors and circus of assclowns I'm not going to try and defend...

Thanks for playing!
Let's see -- in the case of 9/11 -- it's your opinion vs. physics.
Hmmm... that's a tough one.
Right, Bin-Laden, a trained engineer, had no clue what he was doing.
Oh wait a minute, he was Mossad - as is all of al Qaeda.
In fact the Koran? Written by Jews to justify their own persecution.
Haldol jello shots for everyone!
If that was an attempt at humor it was a big, fat miss.
Bin-Laden:
1) Said in an interview that he didn't do it,
2) Suggested that we look for a govt. within the US govt.,
3) the FBI when asked said "we have no hard evidence connecting Bin-Laden to 9/11", and
4) wasn't Khalid Sheik Muhammed called the real 'master-mind' of 9/11?
You know, if you just fling your own wet feces about people are gonna think you're uncivilized.
Yes, how did Bin plant those tower 7 discharges? And how did brilliant Bin get a Bush bro to head security?
Daniel Ellsberg: “Secrets … Can Be Kept Reliably … For Decades … Even Though They Are Known to THOUSANDS of Insiders”
It's easy -disceredit, imprison and kill the insiders who talk -and then kill their families. That usually acts as a strong incentive to keep quiet. When you are in the Mob -in the Family- you are in it for life. If you betray them, they kill you and your family, and the family murders can be carried on for decades after death -to remind everyone of the consequences of betrayal. Just ask the Kennedy's -no don't bother. After John John, you'll never get anyone to talk.
You appear to vastly overestimate government efficiency and the capacity of both the [fat & lazy] and [CYA dutifully documentary] government bureaucrats to maintain the extremely detailed oral history and institutional knowledge base over time required for such actions on such a regular and widespread basis...
and there's a very annoying tool out there now called the internet. Too many entry and exit points of information. See boy holed up in embassy. Sure, that intimidates some, maybe most - but as the enemies become global so do its victims - and opponents. That includes an empires own "citizens" who it always turns on in the end. Also, as things get worse, more folks take risk. As Tyler has proven, the internet is the wildcard. It is the modern "pen" and a billion keystrokes are mightier than a ton of shiny swords
and embassy boy proves the other side of the coin. As things get worse, the empire take more, there comes that word again, "blatant" risks and starts to peel of its mask sometimes in layers sometimes with violent drama. It's a bit of a catch 22 as its own actions become greater and greater proof of its opponents' points.
Oliver the Spy worked on behalf of the Home Office to foment revolution amongst the English reformers.
It's most interesting that at the same period so distant from the events of today, the first evidence of 'mind control' techiques appeared on the scene in the same locale...
John Haslam, Director of Bethlem Hospital, detailed the case of tea broker James Tilly Matthews, a London tea broker who claimed his mind was being controlled by a gang operating a machine he called an "Air Loom" in 1810.
... Matthews believed machines like the Air Loom were also controlling the minds of members of the British Parliament. He wrote letters to its members warning them about the machines and the conspiracy behind it...and was committed to Bedlam as insane!
Matthews was claiming that the French were experimenting with hypnotism just as the CIA eventually would almost two centurieslater during their MKULTRA experiments, and for basically the same purpose.
Edmund Burke, John Robinson, and the Abbe Barruel supported Matthews' contention that the French Revolution was the result of a conspiracy ultimately aimed at subverting European civilization and its political structure.
This parallels the efforts of the Secret State to secure the means of controlling populations, and arranging for dupe agents to be able to effect policy operations without necessarily even being aware of what they were doing conciously!
This is important to note also that even in Egyptian times, mind control techniques were being honed and developed... if you think science and technology is cool and innovative and hip and 21st century - imagine the thousands of years of mind control techniques that we don't even know about that they use on us on a daily basis...
The goal is a north korea like world... where the elites control the masses like a Pharoh - hypnotizing them into doing their will/bidding...
Thing Pharoh - Pharo - Harpo - Oprah WinFrey (Win Free)... the whole basis of liberalism... win free - don't lose and don't ever work for anything...
Obama Biden, Osama Bin Laden... I mean it's in FRONT OF US... not behind

at this level of ethics, false flag should the norm of doing bisiness
Pending: To be re-branded as true flag terrorism as awareness of the concept becomes widely distributed and public lethargy and cowardice facilitates widespread acceptance!!
Coming soon to an episode of Mad Men!
Only real patriots support true flag terrorism!! Live as slaves and die!
Moron Lube!
/sad frustrating sarc
It is.
false birth cirtificate, false president, false voting, false flag, false fiat printing, false news media, false market fources, false government debt...
How about the Reichstag?
Merkle does has a real German birth certificate
The famous 'Boston Tea Party' had colonists dress up as american indians to throw tea into Boston harbor to attempt to redirect King George III.
There is a not so subtle distinction difference between subterfuge that is official state policy, and subterfuge of those not acting under the aegis of official state policy that is often overlooked by those searching for conspiracy... Both, however, are conspiracies.
That Cuban operation you mentioned GW was called "Operation Northwoods". JFK vetoed it and supposedly pissed a lot of people of as a result.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods
JFK vetoed it after his brother RFK emphatically proposed it.
people like that would never kill a president
False Flag is Government sponsored terrorism. Like giving rocket launchers to Al-Quada. Globalists do that because that's what globalists do.
