10 False Flags that Changed the World
 |
At it’s simplest, the term false flag means pretending to be the enemy.The name comes from ships and armies that, in previous centuries, deceived their foes by displaying another country’s flag.
These days, false flag activities are much more sophisticated…and debauched. These aren’t your granddaddy’s covert operations. |
Fake Terror, Deception, and Disgrace
The most commonly known false flag operations consist of an intelligence agency staging a terror attack such that an uninvolved entity gets blamed for the carnage.
Another type of false flag operation might consist of directing purposefully belligerent and trigger-happy clandestine demonstrators to mingle with peace activists in order to disrupt and discredit a passive protest event.
Yet another type of false flag activity consists of infiltrating the opposition, then making easily disproved claims which will embarrass and undermine the credibility of the organization.
An Ignorant Public Enables False Flags

When the Constitutional Convention closed in 1787, a lady asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy?”Franklin replied: “A republic, if you can keep it.”
Why did our forefathers think the Republic would be so hard to keep? |
What foreign threat did they envisage as the United States’ most deadly enemy? Actually, the founding fathers believed one of our biggest enemies would rise from within: apathetic ignorance.
Thomas Jefferson wrote, “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”
One hundred and forty-five years later, President Eisenhower echoed Jefferson’s fear when he left office in 1961:
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.
Endless War
| Unfortunately, security and liberty were nearing death in the greedy clutch of corporate fascism by the time Eisenhower spoke those words. The world’s largest industrial military machine already needed unending war to feed the nation’s economy, and line the pockets of the war profiteers.False flag operations, with healthy doses of propaganda and ignorance, provided a great recipe for endless war. |  |
Two-time Medal of Honor recipient Major General Smedley Butler explains the situation better than I can. From his book, War is a Racket:
I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested.
False Flag Greatest Hits
And that’s where we stand today…much of the population still apathetically ignorant, if not from lack of desire to educate themselves, then by state secrets privilege and a main stream media that buries truth beneath an avalanche of corporate-advertiser-approved garbage. But as the pendulum swings out of control, the population does seem to be waking up.
So, while the world impotently waits for the next false flag…one that will likely have the remaining uninformed masses proposing a nuclear attack on Iran, let’s reminisce and countdown 10 False Flags that Changed the World. Number 10 on the list is…

I would also include the USS Liberty false flag attack by Israel, I think the these people remain the biggest threat to anyone in the United States and would challenge anyone to produce a bigger threat to the people of the US.
Can we talk about the Lusitania that “was not carrying ammunition?”
Hitler took out a full page ad in the NY Times saying that the boat was carrying contraband and that it would be sunk.
It is almost impossible to know how many false flag there is. Because of their secretive nature.
UHMM, THE LUSITANIA? HITLER TOOK OUT AND ADD IN THE NEW YORK TIMES? How could he afford such a thing a a sgt, in the trenches of ww1 at the time.
Rick, the Lusitania is what drug us into World War 1. (We fought “Hitler’s Germany” in World War 2.)
Re: Lusitania. It wasn’t Hitler, it was the German gov’t. C’mon, give the poster a break. And, it wasn’t just in the NYT.
Winston Churchill was First Lord of the Admiralty at that time.
When the Lusitania entered the Irish Sea, it was instructed to go up the middle of the channel slowly. But the British Admiralty knew there were U-boats in the area because one of their ships had recently been attacked. Knowing there were enemy submarines about, the standard order to a civilian ship is to hug the shore (so the silhouette of the ship hopefully blends into the land behind), and to make all possible speed (get your butt out of danger!). So why did the British Admiralty order the Lusitania to advertise its position?
Survivor’s of the Lusitania reported that a British naval ship steamed into view in response to the SOS of the Lusitania, but then turned around, IN SIGHT OF THE DROWNING PASSENGERS, and sailed away. Why would the British Admiralty order the ship to do this?
Recently divers have gone down to investigate the wreck of the Lusitania. They found thousands of rounds of ammo. So the German gov’t. in 1915(?) knew what we are just finding out now. I wonder who leaked the info to them?
Now let’s start to think about Prime Minister Winston Churchill in the 1940’s. At the very time that FDR was proclaiming, “YOur boy’s will not go to war!”, he and Winny were exchanging cables talking about the necessity of getting the US involved in WWII.
BTW, Hitler did not want to fight Britain. He offered the UK gov’t. soldiers to help England fight whomever it thought needed fighting. Read the very brave, sad story of Rudolph Hess.
And, read about the Nuremburg Trials, where not one officer had functioning testicles by the time he made it to the stand to testify, because they had been crushed to encourage him to say what we wanted him to say.
The 1605 Gunpowder Plot, which Guy Fawkes Day commemorates is probably an early example.
http://www.waronfreedom.org/wgt/cloakandgunpowder.html
Percy was the lead organizer of the Gunpowder false flag/murder event. When his mily escped to Ameica right after the Plto failure, They changed their name to ‘Pierce’. Barbara Bush’s family name is ‘Pierce’. Yes, she is related to Percy of Gunpowder Plot infamy. Ah yes. The Bush family are a coteri of villians going back 400 years…
The Lusitania ad was only successfully printed in one newspaper in Minnesota, though it was submitted to many, including the NYTimes.

False Flag Ops.
The War for Southern Independence was fought, contrary to popular history, not to free slaves. Not only were there slaves in Northern states. (Both Lincoln’s father-in-law and Ulysses S. Grant, owned slaves for instance.) Several Northern states even banned blacks. The North also was home to a cruel and barbaric industrial culture, which depended on forced, child labor. Rather the war was ht to retain waged by the Federal government to control the huge amounnts of revenue generated by tariffs paid by the South on imports and exports. Lincoln inacted the Morrell Tariff which jumped taxes from 20% to 47% prompting South Carolina to seceed from what it, and at the time, most Northerners believed to be a voluntary union. Previously, New Hampshire, Vermont, N. Jersey and New York had considered secession. Lincoln originally acknowledged that he had no authority to force them a seceeding state to remain, and pledged not to resupply federal garrisons in Southern territory. He then had his Secretary of State leak word of re-enforcements sailing toward Ft. Sumter in Charleston, S.C. The South Carolina state militia took the bait and opened fire, forcing Sumter’s surrender, with no casualties on either side. Lincoln used this incident, as provocation to call for a draft of 75,000 troops to invade “rebelous” South Carolina. This in turn prompted the secession of ultimately 12 other states. Missouri, the 12th state to vote to seceed was virtually under martial law, and her legitimate state government was in exile at the time of the vote. Lincoln illegally imprisoned without trial or legal defense, over 35,000 political prisoners including congressmen and senators. This was particularly true of Maryland, since she surrounded Washington, and he feared her legislatures might vote for secession as well. He shut down newspapers sympathetic with the south, and confiscated private property. In the south, he waged war on women and children, ordered entire cities destroyed including hospitals and churches. Ultimately over 600,000 lives were lost, and scores more were affected. Note that the population of the U.S. was only 23 million at the time. Powerful, banks and northern industrialists were able to buy rich farm and timberland for pennies an acre, while the south was being decimated by years of martial law. Although the South committed no such violations of civil rights or acts of terrorism, they did borrow huge somes of money from European banks, as did the North. History however, reports that the South fired the first shot, and thus declared war, and was in rebellion. When in fact it had already declared itself sovereign, and was goaded into what it believed was defending that sovereignty, in response to broken promises, unconstitutional actions taken by the federal government, and the presence of foreigh troops within it’s territory.
You also need to include the 7/7 attack on the London trains in your list of false flags.
Guy Fawkes/ Gunpowder Plot was not is not and will never be a ‘false flag’. Only a Roman Catholic or a lackey of such would repeat the lies of Webster Tarpley, and others, intent on rehabilitating the Vatican. Let’s hope Webster and his followers don’t fall foul of the re-established Inquisition when it arises.
a big yes to Phil’s add to the list, re: 7/7
We forgot the 1993 attack on world trade center with the FBI on record recruiting the people, paying them, and suppling the bomb. Of coarse there was also the 1995 bombing of the Fed build in Oklahoma. Read General Partins bomb assesment report delivered to ALL members of congress and is in the congressional record. The 1st major piece of terror legeslation was passed after this event. He also contacted over 400 media outlets with this. Not a word. He was an explovies expert and also designed the militarys most safisticated conventional warhead. Which according to him brought down TWA 800 flight. He has a websight. Jamestown, Ruby Ridge and Waco are also all part of this mind cotroll programe..Take care all..
The sad information about President Eisenhower was he was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and went to the Bohemian Grove! His speech on the Military Industrial Complex was excellent!
Ya that’s bitter truth
Pretty safisticated alright.
The U.S. faked a Mexican Army incursion to start the Mexican-American War (1848) too.
And of course, remember the Maine (1898)! That got the US empire machine into high gear.
Dont forget Haiti !
This time the false flag was blamed on the weather, but a lot of people are blaming HAARP.
Remember Waco the patsies were goaded by clandestine ops embedded in WS groups, blah. Then came the USPAT RIOT ACT not long afterwards, obscene!
Thank you Stonewall. I appreciate the time you took in explaining what happened during the civil war. It looks like we are in that same space again.
Eisenhower also known as “ike the kike’ at the end of WWII had german soldiers that surrenderd. dig their own ptis and then starved them and made them livein their own shit and piss. The were DECs look it up disarmed enemy combatants. Thats peice of shit ike came up withthat so they doidnt fall under POW guidelines. The real holocuast was there and Dresden. Nurmeburg was the largest trial in history that had NO CROSS EXAMINIATION general had their family threatened with Siberia and torture. Hoss even said a camp that did not exist so that others would figure out he was under duress later. The holohoax is the reason for all our wars now. Al wars now are “good vs evil” rather than idea vs idea. A rabbi in 1907 spoke of the “6million jews for slaughter” 4 books were written right after the war and sadi nothing about gas chambers. The jewish network keeps the lies going. Some people still talk about the soap and lampshades that even the holocaust museum said was a fraud
