The story of the false flag phenomenon is one that is still
being written ...
The concept of the “false
flag” operation has become almost prohibitively stigmatized in recent years
because of the 9/11 “truther” movement and the emotional fallout from the
tragedies at Sandy Hook, Aurora , Boston
Author Richard Dolan made a
presentation at the 2015 Contact in the Desert conference about what he calls
the “false flag era”. According to Dolan, because false flag operations require
control over the global media narrative and the ability to intimidate other
countries into not speaking out against “inside jobs”, only a few countries
have the means and motives to pull them off.
The false flag phenomenon is
distinctively modern and used as an ideological weapon to control populations
with the fear of a manufactured enemy. They are used in ostensibly democratic
systems where people believe they have inalienable rights. Such democratic
systems—primarily the United States, Israel, and Great Britain—must shock
people into sociopolitical and geopolitical consent and, as such, require
sophisticated modern propaganda systems and advanced covert operations teams
with highly proficient skills.

Operation Gladio
Operation Gladio was a
post-World War II program established by the CIA, NATO, and possibly Britain ’s M16 to fight communism in Europe by whatever means necessary. The two-decade
operation used CIA-created “stay behind” networks as part of a “Strategy of Tension”
that unleashed a multitude of terrorist attacks from the late 1960s to the
early 1980s. The attacks were blamed on Marxists and other left-wing political
opponents in order to discredit communism. The operation involved multiple
bombings that killed hundreds of innocent people, including children. The most
notable attack was the August 2, 1980 bombing of the Bologna
How do we know about
Operation Gladio in spite of its incredibly clandestine nature? There are two
principle sources. One, the investigations of Italian judge Felice Casson,
whose presentation was so compelling it forced Italian Prime Minister Giulio
Andreotti to confirm Gladio’s existence. The second source is testimony from an
actual Gladio operative, Vincenzo Vinciguerra, who is serving a life sentence
for murder. In a 1990 interview with the Guardian, Vincenzo stated that Gladio
was designed to psychologically coerce the Italian public to rely on the state
for security.
Operation Ajax
In 1953, the CIA launched
Operation Ajax in order to overthrow Iran United States sought to
depose Iran ’s nationalized
Anglo-Persian oil company and install 5 U.S. United States
and Britain ’s M16 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
Most information relevant to
this CIA-sponsored coup is declassified now and available in the CIA archives.
The CIA described itself
Operation Ajax:
“The world has paid a heavy
price for the lack of democracy in most of the Middle East . Operation Ajax
The Lavon Affair
In 1954, a year after
Operation Ajax, Israel launched its own false flag operation. Code-named
Operation Susannah, the Lavon Affair featured the covert operation of Israeli
agents who planted bombs in several Egyptian, American, and British-owned
cinemas, libraries and educational centers, including a United States
diplomatic facility, framing eight Egyptian Muslims as the perpetrators.
One of the bombs detonated
prematurely, which caused one of the bombers to be captured.
A public trial exposed the
Israeli spy ring and the covert operation. The operatives were convicted and
two of them executed. Israeli Defense Minister Pinhas Lavon was forced to step
down because of the scandal. However, the more far-reaching consequences of the
Lavon Affair demonstrate once again how governments use false flags to achieve
certain objectives that might not have been possible otherwise. In this case,
according to a Stanford published paper, the operation triggered a chain
reaction of game-changing events:
“A retaliatory military
incursion by Israel into Gaza that killed 39 Egyptians; a subsequent
Egyptian–Soviet arms deal that angered American and British leaders, who then
withdrew previously pledged support for the building of the Aswan Dam; the
announced nationalization of the Suez Canal by Nasser in retaliation for the
withdrawn support; and the subsequent failed invasion of Egypt by Israel,
France, and Britain in an attempt to topple Nasser. In the wake of that failed
invasion, France expanded
and accelerated its ongoing nuclear cooperation with Israel
COINTELPRO
COINTELPRO was a series of
clandestine, illegal FBI projects that infiltrated domestic political
organizations to discredit and smear them. This included critics of the Vietnam
War, civil rights leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King, and a wide variety of
activists and journalists.
The acts committed against
them included psychological warfare, slander using forged documents and false
reports in the media, harassment, wrongful imprisonment and, according to some,
intimidation and possibly violence and assassination.
A U.S.
Despite being formally
discontinued, new permutations of COINTELPRO have persisted and include
present-day efforts to undermine activists, whistleblowers and protests. In
fact, a 2012 article published by The Guardian described the FBI’s crackdown on
the Occupy movement as a “totally integrated corporate-state repression of dissent”.
The Gulf
of Tonkin incident, a major escalator
of U.S.
The original incident—also
sometimes referred to as the U.S.S. Maddox Incident(s)—involved the destroyer
U.S.S. Maddox supposedly engaging three North Vietnamese Navy torpedo boats as
part of an intelligence patrol. The Maddox fired almost 300 shells.
President Lyndon B. Johnson
promptly drafted the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution , which became his administration’s
legal justification for military involvement in Vietnam
In 2005, a declassified
internal National Security Agency study revealed that there were no North
Vietnamese naval vessels present during the incident. So what was the Maddox
firing at? In 1965, President Johnson commented, “For all I know, our Navy was
shooting at whales out there.”
The NSA’s own historian,
Robert J. Hanyok, wrote a report stating that the agency had deliberately
distorted intelligence reports in 1964. He concluded that
“The parallels between the
faulty intelligence on Tonkin Gulf and the manipulated intelligence used to
justify the Iraq War make it all the more worthwhile to re-examine the events
of August 1964.”

The Warning Signs of a False Flag Operation:
~ There is an immediate comprehensive
narrative, including a convenient culprit. Law enforcement, government
agencies, and the mainstream media immediately proffer a narrative that
completely explains the event and encourages citizens to tie their intellectual
understanding of the tragedy to the emotions they experience. In his lecture at
Contact in the Desert, Richard Dolan noted that a distinguishing characteristic
of a false flag operation is that the official narrative IS NOT questioned by
the media. There are often legislative, ideological and sociopolitical power
plays waiting in the wings, which the government can immediately implement. The
most striking example of this is the Patriot Act, which was written well before
9/11 but seemed to correlate entirely with the events that had transpired.
~ The official narrative has
obvious domestic and geopolitical advantages for the governing body. The Bush
administration used 9/11 to usher in the War on Terror, which has served as a
lynchpin for countless civil liberty infringements by the national security
state, including ubiquitous domestic surveillance and indefinite detention. It
also directly paved the way for an invasion of Afghanistan
and Iraq
~ The narrative behind the
attack serves to leverage emotions like fear, as well as patriotism, in order
to manufacture consent around a previously controversial issue. For example,
many of the recent domestic terror attacks, including the Aurora Boston
~ Military training drills
and police drills occur on the day of and very near the attack itself, causing
confusion to obscure eye witness testimony and allowing orchestrators to plant
both patsies, disinformation and backup operatives. This is no small point. An
incredible percentage of major domestic or international terror attacks have
involved simultaneous “training drills”. This list includes, but is not limited
to, the infamous NORAD drills of 9/11, the 7/7 London Bombings, the 2011 Norway shooting, the Aurora
shooting, Sandy Hook , and the Boston Marathon.
Though none of the aforementioned events can be confirmed or denied without a
doubt, they bear a striking resemblance to previous false flag attacks and
should be looked at with an investigative eye.
~~~~~~~
The bigger false flags that
occurred in the last two decades undoubtedly utilized unimaginable amounts of
money and resources. It will take time and many contributions by intrepid
researchers and whistleblowers to prove them.
The cases made for and against
9/11 being a false flag “inside job” are voluminous and highly controversial.
The narrative is so convoluted with disinformation that despite all of the
technology and online resources at our disposal, it is highly unlikely we will
know for sure how many layers of shadow and black op agencies were used—if, in
fact, they were. What we do know is that shortly before the events of 9/11,
then-Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld announced that $2.3 trillion dollars
was missing from the Pentagon’s budget. Unfortunately, too much evidence has
been destroyed or manipulated to reach a conclusive verdict as to whether it
was a full blown false flag or an extreme case of state opportunism.
~~~~~~~
Remember, the story of the
false flag phenomenon is one that is still being written. Our analysis of it
must breach the most powerful information control filters the world has ever
seen. As technology and social enlightenment make the crimes of the world’s
national governments transparent, we will see shocking new chapters added to this
history that will shatter mainstream perceptions of reality.
