A false flag is an incident designed to deceive people into believing someone else carried it out.
It’s like the scene from the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
There’s a character who plays on the high school football team and owns a fancy sports car. Later, his little brother’s friend accidentally wrecks the car.

Terrified of how the big brother might react, they devise a clever plan to shift the blame. They make it look like the rival football team vandalized the car, decorating it with the rival team’s colors and slogans.
The plan works.
The big brother is tricked into thinking the rival football team trashed his car instead of the little brother.
This is the essence of a false flag. Governments and intelligence services use this same tactic, often with far more sinister motives.
Take the Mukden Incident in 1931, for example. The Japanese fabricated an attack to justify their invasion of Manchuria.
In 1939, before invading Poland, Nazi Germany staged an attack to make it look like the Poles were the aggressors.
Then there was the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964. North Vietnam was accused of firing torpedoes at a US warship. The torpedoes missed, and there was no damage. But that didn’t matter…
Later that evening, President Lyndon Johnson interrupted national television with a fiery speech, rallying the American people against this “attack” on the US military.
It became the official pretext for the Vietnam War—one of the biggest disasters in US history. And it all began with the Gulf of Tonkin “attack,” which never actually happened. It was a fabricated excuse to enter the war.
Fast forward to 2014, to the sniper attacks in Kiev, Ukraine. These attacks catalyzed the overthrow of the pro-Russian government. Many believe they were a false flag operation.
Then there was the 2017 chemical weapons attack in Syria. Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh claims it was a false flag designed to draw the US directly into the Syrian war.
So why am I telling you about this now?
There are two reasons.
First, so you understand this devious tactic and are not fooled by it. False flag attacks are often used as pretexts to launch wars.
Second, because the current situation in the Middle East is ripe for a false flag incident—one that could provoke a war with Iran and potentially escalate into a global conflict.
USS Liberty Redux?
It was the deadliest attack on an American ship since World War 2…
It was a clear, sunny day on June 8, 1967—during the Six-Day War—and the USS Liberty was 13 miles off the northern coast of the Sinai Peninsula in international waters.
Israeli aircraft made several low-altitude fly-overs of the ship, which was flying a large US flag from the bridge and was clearly marked “USS Liberty.” There was no mistaking it for anything but a US ship.
Then, at around 2 PM, the Israelis attacked with fighter jets, which dropped bombs and napalm and then strafed the Liberty’s deck. The initial attack disabled the ship’s communication system, making it impossible to broadcast a distress signal.
After the fighter jets left, Israeli torpedo boats launched their torpedoes at the Liberty, with one delivering a direct and devastating hit.
Around the same time, several Israeli helicopters loaded with soldiers in full combat gear hovered over the Liberty.
