Did you guys understand that mumbo jumbo:

 

So how do we tell the two kinds of suspicion apart? It would be a relief if the answer seemed as obvious as the phantasmagoria seen in a 1998 painting by John Miller called “ZOG.” The image is one of the artist’s “Game Show Paintings,” which critique the banality and consumerism of American culture, in this case by showing us “Wheel of Fortune” hosts Pat Sajak and Vanna White with the letters Z, O and G on the game board, shorthand for the anti-Semitic phrase Zionist Occupied Government.

 

The world would be a safer place if conspiracies were so patently absurd as this painting, but of course, the absurdity of the belief doesn’t matter to those who believe it. The man accused of killing 11 people in a synagogue in Pittsburgh on Oct. 27 tweeted a cartoon that used the word ZOG as a punchline about how Americans are supposedly manipulated by Jewish powers.

 

Absurdity isn’t a good guide to the facticity of claims about our government and leaders, either. Yes, when the Weekly World News headline screams “Hillary Clinton Adopts Alien Baby,” most sane people will dismiss it out of hand. But what about Operation Northwoods, a secret U.S. government plan to attack U.S. cities, planes and boats and blame the violence on Cuba, to create a justification for attacking the communist regime in the 1960s? That, in fact, is true, although the plan was rejected by President John F. Kennedy.

 

When right-wing extremists immediately suggested that the attack on the Pittsburgh synagogue was a “false flag” operation, decent people were sickened by the claims. But the false flag claims circulate in part because there have been false flag acts, perpetrated at the highest levels of the U.S. government.
