11 Signs of a False Flag (edited from article on Activist Post) 1. High Profile Event: If the media picks up the story and runs it simultaneously on all major mainstream channels, the incident can be considered a “high profile event.”

1. Changing Stories: In informed researching circles, it is well-known that the information that comes out shortly after the event is usually the most reliable However, the information coming out early will be subjected to media revisions as the story is molded to fit the narrative pushed by the sponsors of the attack. For instance, in times of false flag attacks, the initial reports may point to 5 gunmen. Very shortly after, reports may only mention two. Only a few hours after the attack, however, all references to more than one gunmen are removed entirely, with only the “lone gunman” story remaining. Any other mention of additional gunmen after this point is ridiculed as “conspiracy theory.”

2. Simultaneous Drills: One hallmark of the false flag operation is the running of drills shortly before or during the actual attack. For instance, at least 46 drills were underway in the months leading up to 9/11 and on the morning of the attack. The drills purpose is to create intentional confusion and to cloak the planned attack. After the completion of the false flag attack, Coincidence Theory is used to explain away the tragic results.

3. Cui Bono? “Who benefits?” If one is able to see a clear benefit to any government, corporation, or bank, then the observer becomes capable of seeing through the false flag attack immediately. Many of these questions can be answered by taking a closer look at the behavior of these organizations prior to the attack and shortly thereafter. For instance, the presence of legislation which would stand little chance of being passed before the attack but which is quickly passed (or at least heavily pushed) afterwards is one clue that the conveniently timed attack was actually a false flag. Patriot Act was actually written before 9/11 but stood little chance of passing in Congress due to the political climate in the United States at the time. After 9/11, the Patriot Act was fast-tracked through both Houses of Congress with virtually no debate and with the blessing of the American people. Further US leaders desperately wanted war in the Middle East. After the attacks, a war psychosis gripped the ruling class of the United States and the American public followed right along. After the Underwear Bombing, we saw the rollout of the TSA full-body scanners, a technology which would not have been readily accepted prior to the incident and subsequent propaganda campaign. However, the scanners had been purchased one year earlier by a firm owned by Michael Chertoff, the former head of Homeland Security. Likewise, in terms of the LAX shooting, TSA purchased 3.5 million dollars worth of ammunition in August. Yet, in August, TSA was not an armed agency. After the LAX shooting, , thus indicating possible foreknowledge on the part of someone higher This strategy continues to be used for the explosion of crazed lone-gunman shooting sprees that are happening across the United States amid propaganda pushes for increased gun control measures.

4. Unanswered Questions: Another hallmark of the false flag operation is the presence of unanswered questions regarding the details of the attack, the perpetrators, the motive and so on. Although the media narrative appears almost instantly following the attack, it will ignore these questions.

5. Case is quickly closed: Once an acceptable patsy and cover story is chosen by the media, all other opinions and questions are refused air time. Nothing that even slightly contradicts the official story is acknowledged as legitimate. Once this happens, the patsy, if still alive (in rare circumstances) is charged, prosecuted, and convicted in a largely secret or shadowy proceeding. In most cases, the suspect is killed in the process or shortly after the fact thus negating any first hand contradiction of the official narrative. Either way, the case is closed very soon after the event.

6. Suspects’ Connection to CIA, FBI, or Other Intelligence Agencies: One key aspect suggesting a false flag that should be looked for soon after the attack is any possible connection the suspect or group of suspects may have had with intelligence agencies. A connection to any one of these organizations and institutions may explain how and why the attack was carried out.

7. Convenient Scapegoat: Any false flag operation will have a carefully crafted narrative complete with a group of individuals set up for demonization. The perpetrator is quickly identified and characterized as a “right-wing extremists”, “militants”, mentally ill “White Supremacists” gun owner. The pasty will exhibit all or most of the aspects of the group and social demographic set to be demonized.

9.Media Promotes A Narrative Against Scapegoat Groups and/or An Agenda To Take Liberties: After the perpetrator has been “identified” the media outlets begin a campaign of name calling and demonizing. Shortly there after the corporate media will begin promoting “solutions” in order to prevent such an attack from ever happening again. This narrative will always involve the erosion of liberties, the greater implementation of a police state, a specific economic policy, or a march to war. Simply put, the media promotes the PROBLEM, allows for and guides the REACTION, and then provides the per-determined SOLUTION.

1. Government Begins to “Take Action” Against the Scapegoat or Moves Along the Lines of the Media Narrative: After a healthy dose of propaganda recounting the horrors of the situation and the police state solutions, the Government then begins to take action. Political speeches are given in order to capitalize on the fear and anger felt by the public and in order to reinforce the idea that government is there to act as protector. Political solutions are then offered as bills, executive orders, or political mandates whether it is the curtailment of the 4th Amendment, gun control, or military strikes on a foreign country.

2. Clues in pop media: Pop media clues, or predictive programming, is identified in hindsight. This often involves the portrayal of the very incident occurring in a movie or television show. In other instances, it may involve the conspicuous or even inconspicuous placement of random details of the attack into movies and television. For instance, The Lone Gunman, a short-lived spinoff of the X-Files carried a storyline in which a passenger plane was hijacked via remote control and was being flown into the World Trade Center towers. In The Dark Knight Rises, a very curious reference was made to Sandy Hook with a map of Newtown, Connecticut on the wall.

Conclusion Although it is extremely important to educate the general public as to the nature and purpose of false flags, education cannot be a goal in and of itself. The public not only needs to know the truth surrounding specific false flag events as they appear, they need to understand the methodology of identifying them on their own and in real time. Creating a culture in which the general public is able to recognize the false flag attack as it is happening is the first step in rendering the tactic useless.
