If a nuclear device blows up somewhere, anywhere how will it be a "false flag"?
If a nuclear device does not blow up somewhere and TPTB decide to pretend one does then that would be a false flag. The next nuclear device to be set
off will be by North Korea or Iran or maybe Isreal should TPTB just ignore 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 though 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.
Wikipedia: False Flag
If "the powers that be" in one country organise an attack on their own country, and plant evidence to make it appear another country or group has
carried out an attack, that is a false flag.
Israel used unmarked planes to attack the USS Liberty, almost causing America to nuke Egypt. If this was done in order to fool America into
believing Egypt had attacked the Liberty, and to trigger war between Egypt and America, this was a false flag.
If people within America and/or Israel orchestrated 9/11 and planted evidence of Muslim hijackers in order to trigger war against another country,
this too was a false flag.
In 1962 the US Government drew up plans for committing false flag operations. This was the
Northwoods Report and is still easy to find and download.
In 1997 the Neoconservative think-tank
Project for the New American
Century was formed, "to promote American global leadership."
In September, 2000, the PNAC published a document,
Rebuilding America's
Defenses
which outlined the need for "a new Pearl Harbour".
Further information on false flag attacks can be found
here.
So it would not be beyond the bounds of probability for America or Israel to bring about a false flag attack in order to justify bombing Iran.
Of course putting a percentage chance on this is silly.
There may be people who want to do this and can, but there may also be people who don't want this and can stop them.
