False Flags

Here is Wikipedia's definition of a false flag:

False flag (or black flag) describes covert military or paramilitary operations designed to deceive in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by entities, groups or nations other than those who actually planned and executed them. Operations carried out during peace-time by civilian organizations, as well as covert government agencies, may by extension be called false flag operations if they seek to hide the real organization behind an operation. Geraint Hughes uses the term to refer to those acts carried out by "military or security force personnel, which are then blamed on terrorists."

Here is a list of various false flags from the Washington Blog that are admitted to have occured. (Note that at least one seems not admitted but possible.) The list is well worth your time. 

Trust no government official.

I Don't Get it

I have noticed a certain mindset, particularly in "religious" folk. They come to hate a particular person so much the facts do not matter any more. A good example was Dan Rather's acceptance of a forgery that condemned George Bush as a "draft dodger" by using his father's influence to join the National Guard. My point is not that Bush was innocent or guilty, or good or bad. My point is that the story of the forgery was so weak that only someone who was predisposed to accept the purported evidence would. Rather was blind.

In the same way, the "Obama plays golf" meme makes no sense. Obama could very well be putting in 60 hour weeks, and golfing on the weekends. Why would this be evil on his part? Of course I have no idea what Obama's hours are. Nor am I saying he is an effective or ineffective president. I am losing interest in such matters. I doubt a President Romney would be any better, and in terms of war probably worse. President McCain? God forbid.

So in this spirit I offer the following Alex Jones video. Only someone blinded by hate could seriously offer this as even a possibility. Jones is blind.

Why are you paying attention to people like Alex Jones, or Dan Rather? Why are you paying attention to whatever guru is your favorite?

If the blind lead the blind, they both fall in a ditch.
