I thought it was about time to speak a little on what exactly a
false flag operation is for those
on ATS who do not know, as well as some prime examples of them within various places so that people can be better informed, as well as know what to
look for when they notice that things are not necessarily adding up.
Quote from Wikipedia : False Flag
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.
False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time; for example, during Italy's
strategy of tension.
This concept originated in the days of the rising strive for independence from tyranny where pirates were always raising a false flag, of a allied
nation and when getting closer to their target they would raise the skull and bones, or also called skull and crossbones flag to terrorize their prey
into ignorant action.
In some arenas it is called a
covert action.
Quote from : Wikipedia : Covert Operation
A covert operation (also as CoveOps or covert ops) is a military, intelligence, or political activity carried out in such a way that the identity of
the sponsors of the operation (the parties responsible for the operation ) is concealed or kept secret.
While the operation may become known to the enemy or the world, covert operations are intended so that the parties responsible cannot be traced, or at
worst proven.
At the lowest end of the spectrum is an
agent provocateur that is one man, or possibly a
team of men who go into a covert action through surreptitious means to gain an agenda that is not usually being conducted legally.
Quote from : Wikipedia : Agent Provocater
Traditionally, an agent provocateur (plural: agents provocateurs, French for "inciting agent(s)") is a person employed by the police or other entity
to act undercover to entice or provoke another person to commit an illegal act.
More generally, the term may refer to a person or group that seeks to discredit or harm another by provoking them to commit a wrong or rash
action.
Below are some videos of actual acts where people were accused of being agent provocateurs :
YouTube - UNDERCOVER COPS !!! CAUGHT STARTING A RIOT !!!
YouTube - Undercover Policemen accused of inciting violence at G20 protest in London
YouTube - G-20 : Epic Undercover Police Fail
Next are some movies where they have actually been represented in one form or fashion :
YouTube : Die Hard 1 (1988)
YouTube - Die Hard 2 (1990)
YouTube - Die Hard 3
YouTube : World Trade Center Attack Confirmation in 1996
(The Long Kiss Goodnight)
YouTube - 9/11 Conspiracy predicted in X-Files
I felt this topic warranted enough attention all on its own seperate from accusing events of being
false flags, black box operations, and
individual people as agent provacateurs.
Below are three threads I created (I have several others) that speak on these theories :
(CCHWC)Operation Gatekeeper
False Flag Operator, Become Sheep-Dipped Or Wolf-Dipped, and Become A Puppet
Dictator?
Are You "Right-Wing Fringe", or "Left-Wing Fringe" and How Will They Push You
It has as well been suggested that events like
COINTELPRO,
September 11th,
M.I.A.C. Report and various other
events are or were linked to one of, or all of these types of events being coordinated behind the scenes.
This is in no way a complete volume of details of these types of events, nor am I stating that these events are directly, and or indirectly linked,
nor am I stating the movies provided are direct evidence, but I am however suggesting that you use common sense and as well feel free and join in and
contribute to an intelligent discussion on the topic.
