False Flag Events
Guest post: By ‘Be informed’
What is a false flag event? False flag events are anything that has been made to look like something that it really isn’t. “Your” government can create chaos to create diversions away from what it is “really” doing. This deceit has many other purposes such as excuses for control, to pass very unpopular laws, implement martial law, take attention away from sneaky underhanded deals, to stop or delay an event like an election or sway the voters towards a certain side, to make a government look like they are more in control than they actually are, in short anything that requires desperate measures that can’t be solved as usual.
As long as the government doesn’t end up looking inept, or they don’t get caught, most false flag events can be pulled off. Most people are still gullible enough to believe anything that the news media feeds them. Lets look at 20 false flag events and how they benefit the government, using the United States as an example, but still applies to other countries.
1. Create an international incident. This can be embargoes, breaking relations, arming countries that are mortal enemies to other countries such as arming Georgia opposite to Russia or Taiwan opposite to China. This can cause an almost war type situation and divert all attention from domestic issues.
2. Impending terrorism. If the United States government puts out an urgent warning that hundreds of terrorists are now here and waiting to attack, most everyone would still have a knee jerk reaction and believe it. Especially if it is made to look even worse, like after 9/11 level. Takes ALL attention away from everything for at least a couple of weeks.
3. Actually “allow” terrorism to get through. Allowing an enemy to attack the country is not new. Many historians feel that Pearl Harbor was allowed to occur to gain full public support to go to war against Germany and get rid of the Japanese threat. Complete distractions for a long time and a type of coming together of the country.
4. Attack another country. Wag the dog scenario. Air strikes are all too easy and have little or no casualties along with little or no public protests as long as the country attacked cannot fight back. War has a way of energizing the country, people are still highly nationalized when it comes to “their” home.
5. Announce the country is out of money. Even though the U.S. can print money like newspapers, such a statement would cause bank runs all over the country. The purpose here is to cause a countrywide break down of the society and panic, so martial law and other strict controls can be immediately issued.
6. Inflate precious metal prices. Getting a good scare and create an artificial price, massive bubble can be quite a benefit. If timed right, prices will drop and investors can buy back into stocks and jump the markets considerably. This would be a big boost a week or so before elections.
7. Have a long bank holiday. This is the opposite of a benefit to the stock market, and meant to actually collapse the economy to prevent an event such as the elections, as investors would be sure to fully sell off the next few days. A desperate president could do this to stop being voted out of office.
8. Instigate an attack on U.S. warship by foreign country. Even though U.S. entered enemy waters, the public would still view the U.S. as the victim and justification for war and be all for the U.S.A. This could happen in China or Russia, but probably would be Iran or North Korea or a smaller country. Also airspace violations, any foreign territory transgression on purpose.
9. Pass something specifically targeting a group of people. Goal here is to infuriate a certain race, religion, or any large number of people so they start to fight amongst each other and forget about the government. Good excuse for the state to issues all sorts of control measures also to curb the violence.
10. Overblown dangers of a pandemic. Germs still scare most people and as the government passes all sorts of regulations, no one really cares or criticizes anything because they “look” like they are protecting the population.
11. Government scandal. The media and people thrive on soap opera garbage, and any type of truly “juicy” gossip item is going to be all that is talked about. Remember the Monica Lewinsky debacle, a certain president was brought under impeachment trail for this, and a certain Iraq was bombed during this time.
12. Fake a disaster. False chemical spill, problems with nuclear reactors, anything to divert attention away and or close off an area for some purpose.
13. Pull back all diplomats from every country. This could be for longer periods of time than a few months ago. This creates all sorts of speculation and causes attention to go more away from the country and domestic issues. Also can include kicking out select diplomats out of the United States.
14. Disappearance of leaders. Given for many different reasons would shock everyone as the leaders were told by the media to be in highly secure and undisclosed places, or no reason is given. Panic would set in and everything else would be temporarily forgotten that ail the country so much.
15. Backing out of a treaty or other international agreement. This can be a bluff to gain a better hand and more influence with other countries. It is also a good way to bring some patriotism to the country, especially something that could bring some jobs back to the U.S., even though the U.S has no intentions of living up to it.
16. The enemy has infiltrated us. Perfect pretext for a complete evasive I.D. system to be started up for the country. Many other regulations that lead up to more of a police state. More people would support this than many would have you believe out of fear of “the enemy”, real or not.
17. Firearms have become a national security risk. Several excuses for this come from drug gangs to terrorism to unseen threats. Waiting periods, massive background checks, all guns have to go through a costly yearly registration process, limiting of all guns to only being able to hold 8 bullets or less, to confiscation of most guns. The fees would bring in more money to the state. Taking most everyone’s means of defending themselves is the first step to a dictator taking over. Most people would obey the law unfortunately.
18. Government attacks their own country. Sick as this sounds, those in control are capable of practically anything. Then blame a terrorist group of other country and focus public’s hate away from the government. Most likely a cyber attack because of difficulty of tracing it back and ease to blame anyone for it.
19. Put strategic military forces on very high alert. DEF CON 3 or 2 on perceived threat, even without giving any reason. Other countries would react and put their forces on high alert. Perfect way of diverting all attention away from anything else other than possible large scale or world war.
20. Communications shutdown. The government can shut everything down if it so desires and leave open ONLY emergency channels. This includes the internet, television, radio, telephone services, almost everything. This will blind everyone of what is going on and lead to panic and chaos. Then the government steps in and brings order to the chaos, a police state. No reason may ever be told.
All these false flag events can happen and most of them have already occurred in other countries and some of them in the United States. As times grow more desperate in the U.S. and other countries expect the governments to start resorting to more desperate measures, including false flag events.

“18. Government attacks their own country. Sick as this sounds, those in control are capable of practically anything. Then blame a terrorist group of other country and focus public’s hate away from the government…”
The Reichstag fire being a splendid example, as is the Gleiwitz incident, but of course there are many more… These two are textbook examples and we should learn from them in order to recognize the features of this type of activity.
I get the impression the author is trying to claim the U.S. did/does these things but doesn’t have the guts to come out and say it. I usually don’t even respond to truthers since you cannot argue with idiots. So does the author have the guts to be specific?
@GoneWithTheWind. Yes the United States and almost all other countries would do anything to stay in power. The U.S. has in the past launched false flag events and will do in the future. What was written had to do with including almost ALL countries as this blog goes over the whole world. I wanted to include everybody because practically everybody is affected in even the most stable countries such as Denmark, New Zealand, Sweden, etc. “Gone” this is to ready people for false flag events that sure could occur. There is something on the books as I was told that if the economy collapses then the election can be postponed or even stopped. I hope this is specific enough? Personally I am totally ashamed of the U.S. for all that they have done to the common person, disgusted!
@GoneWithTheWind. May I ask you which ones of these 20 events do you personally feel are most likely to occur in the United States? Maybe you could come up with 5 or 10 more false flag events that the United States would try to pull off in the near future. Everyone needs to be ready, something is brewing.
The United states is 310 million people who elect leaders and employ bureaucrats with the expectation they obey the constitution and only act in the interest of the citizens and the nation. One man, president or citizen is NOT the United States. So while it is certainly possible for an unscrupulous politicians or bureaucrat to pull off a false flag or commit any number of dishonorable acts he and his fellow conspirator are NOT the United States. If the president or anyone who speaks and acts for the United States does something dishonorable/dishonest AND the facts become public AND the citizens allow it or agree with it THEN you could say that the United States committed this act. Without those factors it is just one person or a handful of people acting as criminals which is nothing new in human history and certainly not unique to the United States.
For the record I do not believe the truther’s conspiracy theories and have serious doubts about their mental health.
I absolutely believe something is brewing. I suspect it will simply be a long and grinding depression with all it’s problems and sufferring. I do believe the current administration is intentionally creating this crisis so they can implement policies and pass laws that the voters would never accept in a normal economy or political climate. I don’t think these same people would seriously consider a fasle flag event to stay in power or sieze power. Yes we should prepare for the worst. Yes some bad stuff is happening and yes it absolutely can and probably will get worse but not a false flag event.
Intentionally creating a crisis is a false flag event, just a more long term dragged out one. I have not really been into conspiracy, I like to have proven results, but what is going on right now just does not make sense. People can get away with just about anything now because time makes anything crooked and dishonest go away. Just look at how many people get away with so much now as opposed to decades ago. The U.S. reminds me of the last days of the Roman Empire when corruption ruled.
OK! I’ll admit that I misunderstood what you were getting at. I did not believe that “false flag” was the correct description of what is happening. However I do agree that some if not all of our current economic disaster is intentional or at least the direct and predictable result of intentional policies. For example I think Obama is allowing reduced payroll taxes with the intent of bankrupting Social Security. I think the lack of border control and the incentives for illegals is to destroy the middle class. I think the economic collapse or depression (or whatever we are calling it now) is intentional so that when things get so bad that civil unrest becomes open rioting (American Spring?) it will give the administration a reason to impose harsh laws/policies.
How far would the government go to disarm the public? Sandy Hook?
