Part 6 of 10 : False Flags
False flag operations are not only real — they are well documented. False Flag events have been used by governments and political groups for a very long time. A “false flag” is basically creating a crisis (bombing, attack, problem) and blaming it on someone else — often a political opponent or enemy.
Other times the attack or event is designed to influence public opinion in a particular direction.
Machiavelli wrote “The Prince” in 1513. Using deception and brutality to maintain power is not a new idea.
Ancient Chinese dramas describe the deceit, lies, and trickery in the halls of power, and these tactics have been a part of political and military strategy in China for thousands of years. And entire section of Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War” covers how to use spies and deception to “win without firing a shot”.
The Hegelian dialectic, often simplified into the formula “problem — reaction — solution”, is an idea from the 1800’s.
Remember the story of the Trojan Horse?
While most people think that false flags terror attacks are utterly inconceivable, if we just look at history, we can see that they are common practice.
Below are a few documented incidents. There are also links to sites with many more examples.
What we don’t know is how many of terror tragedies, particularly the tragedies in the US and abroad that are caused by “the lone nut” or “the lone gunman”, are legitimate, and how many may be created events to push an ideology or political agenda.
Maintaining skepticism of those in power was a defining trait in the creation of the United States and was a point that was stressed repeatedly by the founding members of our republic.
Saying things like “they would never do that”, is like the chickens inviting the wolves to provide security at the hen house. And that never ends well for the chickens.

Five of those “false flag” events will be posted in the comments.
ONE: “Mukden Incident” or “Manchurian Incident” — 1931
Japan bombs a train track, blames it on China, and uses the incident to justify an invasion of Manchuria.
TWO: “Reistag Fire” — 1933
A Nazi general who started the fire at the German Parliament building in 1933, and falsely blamed the communists. There was a highly publicized show trial where a patsy was blamed and the incident was used to give tremendous power to the Nazi’s “for the safety of the German people.”
THREE: “Winter War” — 1939
Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev admitted in writing that the Soviet Union’s Red Army shelled the Russian village of Mainila — while blaming the attack on Finland — as a basis for launching the “Winter War” against Finland. Russian president Boris Yeltsin agreed that Russia had been the aggressor in the Winter War.
FOUR: Italy — 2000…
The former Italian Prime Minister, President, and head of Secret Services (Francesco Cossiga) advised the 2008 minister in charge of the police, on how to deal with protests from teachers and students:
“He should do what I did when I was Minister of the Interior … infiltrate the movement with agents provocateurs inclined to do anything …. And after that, with the strength of the gained population consent, …
beat them for blood and beat for blood also those teachers that incite them. Especially the teachers. Not the elderly, of course, but the girl teachers yes.”
FIVE: Denver — 2008
Denver police admitted that uniformed officers deployed in 2008 to an area where alleged “anarchists” had planned to wreak havoc outside the Democratic National Convention ended up getting into a melee with two undercover policemen. The uniformed officers didn’t know the undercover officers were cops.
SIX — Mexico 2012
Rioters who discredited the peaceful protests against the swearing in of the Mexican president in 2012 admitted that they were paid 300 pesos each to destroy everything in their path. According to Wikipedia, photos also show the vandals waiting in groups behind police lines prior to the violence.
(Proposed attacks — not carried out)
OPERATION NORTHWOODS — 1962
As admitted by the U.S. government, recently declassified documents show that in 1962, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan to blow up AMERICAN airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes), and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil, and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba.
See the following ABC news report; the official documents; and watch this interview with the former Washington Investigative Producer for ABC’s World News Tonight with Peter Jennings.
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC — 1961
Official State Department documents show that, in 1961, the head of the Joint Chiefs and other high-level officials discussed blowing up a consulate in the Dominican Republic in order to justify an invasion of that country. The plans were not carried out, but they were all discussed as serious proposals.
More thoughts on “provocation”:
The Director of Analytics at the inter-agency Global Engagement Center housed at the U.S. Department of State, also an adjunct professor at George Mason University, where he teaches the graduate course National Security Challenges in the Department of Information Sciences and Technology, a former branch chief in the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center, and an intelligence advisor to the Secretary of Homeland Security (J.D. Maddox)
“Provocation is one of the most basic, but confounding, aspects of warfare. Despite its sometimes obvious use, it has succeeded consistently against audiences around the world, for millennia, to compel war. A well-constructed provocation narrative mutes even the most vocal opposition.”
“The easiest way to gain control of a population is to carry out acts of terror. [The public] will clamor for such laws if their personal security is threatened”.
– Josef Stalin
“Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death”.
– Adolph Hitler
“Why of course the people don’t want war … But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
… Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
– Hermann Goering, Nazi leader.
