False Flags
A false flag is an attack or other hostile action that obscures the identity of the participants carrying out the action while implicating another group or nation as the perpetrator (often used attributively). This was originally seen during the early days of naval warfare. A ship would fly their enemy's flag in order to get close to their enemy, before swapping to their true colors and opening fire. This idea of manipulating other into believing that you're someone else, or that your actions were someone else have been used strategically by the military in years past (and present).
Mohammed Mosaddiq, and replace him with the Shah, a ruthless dictator. The United States sought to depose Iran’s nationalized Anglo-Persian oil company and install 5 U.S. oil companies to take over the nation’s oil fields. In order to do so, they staged a false flag operation that utilized propaganda and complex political maneuvers in order to create public revolt that eventually led to the United States and Britain’s MI6 military intelligence re-installing the Shah in order to throttle Iran’s oil supplies and transform the nation into a puppet regime of the United States government.
The idea of such powerful governments using false flags is worrisome. A lot of the time, false flags is the government manipulating the public in order to shift the blame away from themselves, or to segment and turn different people groups against each other. The best way to take over a country or to stop an uprising is to turn the public against each other, so they cannot rise up as one. When this happens it turns the public against the wrong perpetrator(s), often an innocent group.
In a world of digital news and “disinformation” it is becoming harder and harder for our generation to identify what's real and what's not. The government has become so good at manipulating the public and shifting blame off of themselves, that people will buy into whatever the government says (even when it's not true). The mainstream media is obviously on the payroll, so they will generally do whatever they're told, and will report the side that they are told to report.
The ideas of false flags have been so warped by our media and culture, that when I looked it up to do research, all I could find was that false flags are conspiracy theories. The idea has been so warped, that
whenever something bad happens, people will call it a false flag by the government. This completely invalidates the serious concern that false flags provide. It is slowing turning into a "boy who cried wolf" situation. The most common false flag narrative that I've seen as of late, is the January 6th capitol riot. I see constant social media posts claiming that the people inside the capital were antifa trying to make Trump supporters look bad. Now there are two sides of the story with little valid evidence. If this was a government-hires-people job, then we are all too busy fighting with each other to notice. In order to identify false flags, we have to stop being so blinded by our anger and need to be right, and work together instead of only following what the media says.
(Even this photo above me is from ABC news titled, "how to spot disinformation in your social media feed". This just shows that if there really are false flag operations still taking place, they are being covered and deemed disinformation.)
