Defining a "False Flag Event"

One of the terms bandied about alternative media and conspiracy theory sites is "FALSE FLAG EVENT".  What does this mean, exactly, and why is it important to understand it?

A  false flag event is an occurrence that is engineered to sway public opinion.  It's usually an event that is blamed on whatever hapless country the United States wants to declare war upon.  Generally speaking, a false flag event is designed to inflict maximum fear on a group of people, causing them to rally around a specific cause. Learn more about historic military false flag events HERE.

The reason it is important to understand this is because if we cannot recognize these events for what they really are, we can easily be manipulated by those in power.  Many brave soldiers -  our sons and daughters, our mothers and fathers, our friends and family, and courageous strangers unknown to us but fighting for us nonetheless - have been, and will be, sacrificed on the altar of power and money. 

The decisions made by the elite few in government, banking and the oil industry cost lives.  Those lives are not being sacrificed to protect our freedom.  Our real enemies are within our own gates, and they would do anything to distract us from this.

Currently, we are under threat of another false flag event.

The United States needs an enemy to keep her people from realizing that she is being overthrown from within.  The enemy flavor of the month is Iran.

The current administration, aided and abetted by the mainstream media, is preying on the fear of a nuclear event.  Of course everyone is concerned about being nuked off the map!  Such an occurrence could actually be the end of the human race.  And those crazy Iranians are testing their nukes right now....they must be planning to use them on us....we have to stop this!

Wait.

Independent auditors have said that Iran's nuclear research and capabilities is geared towards providing power for the country - not towards building weapons. Clinton Bastin, formerly of the US Atomic Energy Commission, was interviewed by 21st Century Scientist and went into detail about the goals and capabilities of the country, and also discredits some of the findings of the International Atomic Energy Agency - check out the ARTICLE's full text for more information.

Iran, along with Russia, refuses to accept the US dollar for oil.  Suddenly, alarm bells begin ringing about the nuclear capabilities of Iran and they must be stopped at all costs.

What costs?  Isn't this just another conspiracy theory by anti-government extremists?

Judge for yourself.

~ We are invading Iran's waters despite repeated warnings not to do so.  The USS Enterprise is on Route to the Strait of Hormuz . The Enterprise is a venerable carrier with many years of duty.  So many years that the military had plans to decommission her until this most recent "crisis" arose.  Now, she has been staffed and sent into a zone we have been warned not to enter.  It begs the question - if we are going to war, why wouldn't we send one of our more up-to-date carriers with advanced capabilities?  Doesn't it make you suspect that the Enterprise might just be the most disposable vessel and is destined to end up at the bottom of the sea loaded with 200-300 unfortunate members of our military that the government considers expendable?

If Iran blows up our ship, we are going to have no choice but to go to war.

~ As soon as Iran refused to take US money, the government unleashed all manner of economic sanctions against the small country in an attempt to economically cripple them.  You can read more about it HERE.

~ We're ticking off Iran because Israel says so.  Yep, it's true.  Iran has inflamed the rage of Israel, and since Israeli interests seem to run the United States government through campaign contributions and financial strangleholds.  Israel appears to be calling the shots in this particular engagement.

We can either unify and let the government know that we will not stand for another useless war or we can be dragged off to it like lambs to the slaughter.  We can educate ourselves independently of the mainstream media and we can

CALL BULLSHIT on our government.  The lives of our soldiers are at stake for nothing more than the price of a barrel of oil.  For nothing more than lining the already full pockets of the global elite.  For creating an event that will allow the powerful to stay in power.

Do your research - don't allow yourself to be manipulated into believing the lies of the next false flag event, manufactured for your viewing pleasure by the puppet masters currently running the show.  The pieces have been moved into place - beware.
