False Flag
Summary of False Flag Operations and False Flag Terrorism
Definition of False Flag
"False
flag terrorism" occurs when elements within a government stage a secret
operation whereby government forces pretend to be a targeted enemy
while attacking their own forces or people. The attack is then falsely blamed on the enemy in order to justify going to war against that enemy. Or as Wikipedia defines it:
False flag operations are covert operations
conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which
are designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations
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 was hung instead of the flag of the
real country of the attacking ship, it was called a "false flag"
attack.

Historical False Flag Attacks
There are many examples of false flag attacks throughout history. For example, it is widely known that the Nazis, in Operation Himmler, faked attacks on their own people and resources which they blamed on the Poles, to justify the invasion of Poland. And it has now been persuasively argued — as shown, for example, in this History Channel video — that Nazis set fire to their own parliament, the Reichstag, and blamed that fire on others. The Reichstag fire was the watershed event which justified Hitler's seizure of power and suspension of liberties.
And in the early 1950s, agents of 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). Israel's
Defense Minister was brought down by the scandal, along with the entire
Israeli government. Click here for verification.
The Russian KGB apparently conducted a wave of bombings in Russia in order to justify war against Chechnya and put Vladimir Putin into power (see also this essay and this report). And the Turkish government has been caught bombing its own
and blaming it on a rebel group to justify a crackdown on that group.
Muslim governments also play this game. For example, the
well-respected former Indonesian president claimed that their government
had a role in the Bali bombings.
This
sounds nuts, right? You've never heard of this "false flag
terrorism," where a government attacks its own people then blames others
in order to justify its goals, right? And you are skeptical of the
statements discussed above? Please take a look at these historical
quotes:
