False Flags
How Governments Strip Away Freedom Through Influence of Public Opinion
“Never Let A Good Crisis Go To Waste.”
“A Government Willing To Break The Law During an Emergency, Will Create An Emergency So They Can Break The Law.”
Authoritarians perpetuate a state of fear to justify their powergrabs. False flag operations are an escalation tactic used to deceive the public and further an agenda.
These events are manipulated to create the illusion of an attack or threat by another party or external force, while in reality, the attack was carried out by the very entity that claims to be protecting you.
The use of false flags has been documented worldwide, from ancient Rome to modern times. The term was famously used to describe a trick in naval warfare when a vessel flew the flag of a neutral or enemy country in order to hide its true identity.
Here’s a brief history lesson that focuses on lasting effects from some of the most exasperated emergencies in recent history.
Spanish-American War
Let's start with the sinking of the USS Maine in 1898. The US government “mistakenly” claimed the ship was sunk by a Spanish mine, which led to the Spanish-American War.
The USS Maine was a US Navy battleship that was sent to Havana, Cuba during the Cuban War of Independence to protect American interests. On February 15, 1898, the ship exploded and sank in the harbor, killing 266 of its crew members.
The US government quickly blamed Spain for the incident, even though there was no concrete evidence to support this claim.
The sinking of the Maine incited United States Citizens’ passions against Spain, eventually leading to a naval blockade of Cuba and a declaration of war, which ultimately led to the US acquiring territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines
Later investigations suggested that the explosion might have been caused by an internal malfunction, rather than an external attack.
However, the US government's rush to judgment and willingness to use the tragedy as a justification for war serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of blindly trusting those in power.
Gulf of Tonkin, Vietnam War
In 1964, the U.S. government used the Gulf of Tonkin incident as a pretext for escalating the Vietnam War. The incident was described as an unprovoked attack against America.
The U.S claimed North Vietnamese naval vessels attacked two US Navy destroyers, the USS Maddox and the USS Turner Joy.
President Lyndon B. Johnson was able to use the incident to push through the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which gave him the authority to use military force in Vietnam without a formal declaration of war from Congress.
However, it later became clear that the U.S. government had exaggerated and fabricated elements of the incident to justify its military involvement in Vietnam.
Declassified documents and recordings have revealed that the second attack on the USS Maddox, which was used as justification for the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, may not have actually occurred.
In 2005, a declassified National Security Agency report concluded that the second attack likely did not happen.
The Gulf of Tonkin incident is a clear example of how governments can manipulate the truth to justify war and expand their power.
The incident led to the loss of countless lives and resources, and ultimately tarnished the credibility of the U.S. government in the eyes of its citizens and the international community.
The Patriot Act
While we all mourn the loss of innocent lives on September 11th, 2001, there are many unanswered questions about what really happened on that pivotal day in history. The government's official story is filled with holes, inconsistencies, and disproven lies.
The Patriot Act is a controversial law passed by the US Congress in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The act is written to strengthen national security by providing law enforcement agencies with more power to investigate and prevent terrorist activities.
However, many critics argue that the Patriot Act has eroded civil liberties and violated the privacy rights of American citizens. This is becoming increasingly common as supporters of a particular political party are labeled as domestic extremists, or terrorists.
Under the Patriot Act, law enforcement agencies are granted broader surveillance powers, including the ability to intercept communications, conduct searches without a warrant, and track financial transactions. The act also allows the government to conduct surveillance on non-US citizens and monitor their internet activity.
The implications have been significant. Critics argue that the law has allowed the government to legally conduct covert surveillance on its citizens, violating their privacy and civil liberties. Additionally, the act has been used to target individuals and groups that are not necessarily linked to terrorism.
Maher Arar was a Canadian citizen detained by US authorities during a layover in New York's JFK airport in 2002 on his way home to Canada. Arar was suspected of terrorist ties and then deported to Syria, where he was tortured for over a year.
The US Government used provisions of the Patriot Act to justify Arar's detention and deportation, despite his protests of innocence. Many argue the Canadian Government silently worked with American Officials to deport Maher Arar to Syria.
Overall, while the Patriot Act was intended to provide greater security in the wake of 9/11, its implications on society have been far-reaching and resemble a form of Globalism.
The act remains a subject of debate and scrutiny, with some arguing that it has helped prevent terrorist attacks while others claim that it has undermined the very freedoms it was designed to protect.
Pandemic Response
The COVID-19 pandemic is a prime example of how governments can manipulate fear and anxiety to control the public.
Governments around the world have pounced on the opportunity to justify authoritarian measures, such as business lockdowns, mandatory vaccinations, and censorship of dissenting voices.
Multinational Corporations and Mainstream Media Outlets have been working in lockstep with Government Officials to quickly label anyone who questions the official COVID-19 narrative as a “conspiracy theorist, COVID denier, or Anti-Vaxxer.”
This kind of demonization of dissenting voices is reminiscent of how the establishment treated those who questioned the official 9/11 narrative advocating for an invasion of the Middle East.
Furthermore, the push for mandatory vaccinations has raised concerns about medical autonomy and the rights of individuals to make their own healthcare decisions.
Governments are still pressuring individuals to get vaccinated, with some even refusing to withdraw the vaccine passports restricting free movement of the unvaccinated, despite studies showing no clear benefit.
As we've seen throughout history, governments will use any means necessary to expand their power and control over their citizens. The COVID-19 pandemic is just the latest example of how public safety can be used as a tool for totalitarianism.
Climate Crisis
As we move into the future, we must remain aware of the potential for governments to exasperate crises. The current ‘climate crisis’ is an example of how fear can be used to push a political agenda.
The World Economic Forum has already partnered with various Globalist Governments to promote ‘climate lockdowns’ as a means to track and tax each individual's carbon footprint.
While yes, the global climate is clearly changing, we must be educated on the natural warming and cooling cycles of Earth while objectively evaluating the effects of human carbon emissions.
Question the motivations behind proposed solutions and examine the potential consequences of implementing extreme measures.
By doing so, we can ensure that efforts to combat climate change are undertaken with the best interests of individuals and communities in mind, rather than as a means of gaining power and control.
False Narratives
These examples demonstrate that we should not blindly trust our authoritative figures. We must question their motives and demand transparency through accountability. We cannot allow fear to be used as a tool to strip away our freedoms and rights.
Do they want to keep you safe, or do they want to keep you controlled? Ensure that your government serves the interests of the People, rather than using fear to gain power and control.
Humans will put themselves in danger to seek a false sense of security, be wary of those who seek to take advantage of this.
Stay vigilant and always challenge the narrative.
