‘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?
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:

As of now, no update or tips worth pursuing.
But this seems to be a well orchestrated campaign and should have had first-rate information on the Event.
The bombs have been planted to effect maximum damage.
What triggered the Blast.
A new security bulletin from the FBI showed images of one of the mangled, partially exploded “pressure cooker” bombs from the Boston Marathon explosions as well as a shredded backpack in which the bomb was reportedly hidden.
The unclassified bulletin was sent Tuesday evening to law enforcement agencies across the country and said that the bomb inside the backpack was an “improvised explosive device (IED)” made out of a common pressure cooker. ABC News had previously reported that law enforcement recovered mangled parts of a pressure cooker bomb that included wires, shrapnel and a circuit board.
The advisory said there was “insufficient evidence” to determine if the second explosive, which was also hidden in a backpack less than a block away, was made from a pressure cooker as well.
Authorities have not yet determined the fusing system for the devices or what exactly set them off, the advisory said. The blasts erupted at approximately 2:50 p.m. EST near the marathon’s finish line Monday afternoon killing three people — including an 8-year-old boy — and injuring more than 170 others. Authorities have no suspects in the case and no group, domestic or international, has taken responsibility for the attack.
