Definition of a false flag (from Wikipedia):
"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.
The term "false flag" originally referred to pirate ships that flew flags of countries as a disguise to prevent their victims from fleeing or preparing for battle. Sometimes the flag would remain and the blame for the attack be laid incorrectly on another country. The term today extends beyond naval encounters to include countries that organize attacks on themselves and make the attacks appear to be by enemy nations or terrorists, thus giving the nation that was supposedly attacked a pretext for domestic repression and foreign military aggression.[1]
Operations carried out during peacetime by civilian organizations, as well as covert government agencies, can (by extension) also be called false flag operations if they seek to hide the real organization behind an operation."
The Wikipedia entry fails to mention a few very important things about false flags:
-
They're not always completely staged.
-
Victims are not all crisis actors.
-
Many innocent people get maimed or killed.
-
They happen because they are allowed to happen.
-
They happen because life is cheap.
-
They happen because the people who execute them are untouchables
The thing that keeps repeating here is the objective to murder a group of innocent people…for no other reason that to detract and deflect from what's actually happening.What's even worse than this though are expected apathy of people who hear about it and the contrived rage of the fake news conglomerate. Its all forgotten within a week…or until the next one.
It is now likely that the DECLAS will roll out soon and there will be more of these in the near future. I guess the way to look at this is that no war is ever won without sacrifices and victims.
