  • US Organised The Boston Marathon Explosion?

    False Flag‘ is a term used in Intelligence circles, where an Agent(Spy) pretends to be of anotherNnation and enrolls the services of some one whose country is favorably disposed to the Country represented by the Spy.

    In Naval Warfare ‘For centuries, ships have sailed under a flag identifying their nationality. During times of war, ships would sometimes change the national flag they flew in order to fool other vessels that they sought to attack or escape from. They would fly, in other words, a “false flag.” The term then expanded to mean any scenario under which a military attack was undertaken by a person or organization pretending to be something else.”

    Did the US Government organize the Boston Marathon Bombing to arm itself with more  Security Powers?

    This is the latest Conspiracy Theory doing the rounds in The US.

    I do not subscribe to it.

    Read On.

    “During the Boston Police Department‘s final press conference of a confounding and deadly day, someone in the audience asked if Monday’s bombing was a “false flag” attack. We can both explain and answer that question…

    The questioner — who appears to be Dan Bidondi, a radio host for InfoWars — asked:

    Why were the loud speakers telling people in the audience to be calm moments before the bombs went off? Is this another false flag staged attack to take our civil liberties and promote homeland security while sticking their hands down our pants on the streets?

    To which Governor Deval Patrick, at the mic to field questions, flatly responded:

    No…

    What the questioner was asking, then, was: Did the United States government orchestrate this attack, pretending to be a terrorist organization of some sort, in order to justify expanded security powers?

    Is There Historical Precedent for Such a Move by a Government?

    There is.

    The most famous example, however, is contentious. Conspiracy theorists (of which there are a lot in America) often suggest that the 1933 fire at the Reichstag in Berlin was a “false flag” operation by the Nazis to consolidate power and undermine the Communist Party. This is still a subject of debate among historians, some of whom think the man convicted of the crime, Marinus van der Lubbe, was actually responsible. In 1998, a German court exonerated van der Lubbe.

    The nexus of fascist government manipulation and phony disasters has proven difficult for theorists to resist. Following most attacks similar to Monday’s bombings, there have been accusations that they serve as a tool of government oppression.

    For example, the murders at Sandy Hook Elementary were quickly labeled a “false flag” operation byconspiracy theorists, the implication being that the Obama administration wanted to use the tragedy to tighten gun restrictions. If that was the president’s goal, the Senate wasn’t on board with it.

    Who is calling the Boston bombings a “false flag” operation?

    Unsurprisingly, Bidondi’s colleague Alex Jones, the founder of InfoWars, who tweeted this within an hour of the bombings to his 180,000-plus followers:
