The big push to completely control the narrative, with conservative voices being censored and ban from social media.

Are they going to silence all opposing views, so they can control the narrative for the next false flag?

For a "False Flag" to be successful, the media has to be the gatekeepers in their pocket, for them to get away with it.

Who would be financing these huge projects to push for gun control? For these elaborate schemes to work they'd need to pay on the order of hundreds of millions of dollars. Seems cheaper to pay off politicians like everyone else does.

The etomology of the expression "false flag" takes us back to the days of pirate ships that flew Spanish or other flags so as not to frighten ships they wanted to attack. When they got close enough to pass and fire a broadside of chain shot to take the masts out, they struck the Spanish colors and ran up a black flag.

How does it apply here...?

Whenever I see the phrase "false flag" the phrase "paranoid gibberish" immediately comes to mind. At least in the recent context, you know for sure that whatever diatribe contains this phrase is not worthy of consideration.

Pretty much what they said.

Whenever I see false flag I know that I better have a ton of unbiased facts at the ready, review news reports from multiple sources of all political leanings and read up on the topic itself to understand what is going on.

Kinda like what most people don't do because they always think they know everything and dismiss stuff just because ... pick a reason. Most people are afraid of learning the truth. So they don;t bother looking for it.

Reading many of these threads, LOTS of people obviously do not know what a false flag is, they seem to think EVERYONE must be 'in on it', law enforcement, the kids, teachers, etc. That could not be more wrong.

To anyone in or around the school, a false flag shooting would look exactly like a real mass shooting, they would just see a gunman killing people. The only ones who would be in on it, would be the shooter and those who orchestrated it (they may not necessarily even be at the school when it happens either).

Looking back to the 1970s and 80s, when our Govt illegally experimented on adults and kids, (Mk Ultra) they took part in a conspiracy, they lied about it, and what they were trying to accomplish (and how), so imo, Govt does not have a good track record in this regard, a handful of dead children would not bother a tyrannical Gvt in the least, especially if the result benefited them.

A false flag is not the same thing as a hoax. A false flag is a real event, but the event details are twisted to make it look like someone else committed the event or to make it look like some of the culprits weren't involved.

In government operations, they pick a patsy to go along with the event. After the event is over, evidence of the other participants are removed and the fall person takes the blame by himself.

In other government operations, the government will say blow up a building or do some other act but leave evidence implicating some other party that had nothing to do with it.

Not necessarily so.
Everything one reads on the internet can be tracked to its source using browser tools. It's easy to discover the legitimate news sources.

The false flag trolls have to put up encrypted firewalls to their source to prevent them from being outed. So, when an average net user runs into encryption that isn't a site that is a bank's or other financial element, it's most likely the source is trying to hide.

Maybe not, but be suspicious. Any media source that's legit can be verified. Legitimate news sources provide other verification as well if requested.

Be suspicious the most of any site you agree with the most. The trolls never mess with sites that are disagreeable to most folks, because it is very hard to change a person's most basic beliefs. They want to bend a person's belief to a distortion of the truth they think that person is most likely to swallow.

And the Russians are very damned good at it. And getting better at it every day.

Be suspicious of your faves. Verify. This is mental warfare, and those are the basic warrior's tools for cyber combat.

This is just as true with liberal websites as it is conservative. The Russians don't care; all they want to do is keep us in as much turmoil and disarray as possible. Whats good for them is bad for us.
