FOR NEWFAGS
The problem with the term "false flag" is that there is confusion regarding the definition.
Some idiots believe a FF means nothing happened and it's just a made up story.
Other idiots believe a FF means what ever happened was all staged and everyone got a script and put on some makeup.
The rest of the idiots believe a FF is any event that doesn't fit into their conspiracy narrative.
A false flag is a covert operation designed to deceive; the deception creates the appearance of a particular party, group, or nation being responsible for some activity, disguising the actual source of responsibility.
