29. A very old trick.

A gentleman who will not be named did that to enrage the German population against the Jews. The Americans did that in the Gulf of Tonkin to create a pretense for escalating in Vietnam.

And then of course we have the Bush administration with their yellowcake, WMDs and mushroom clouds. In that case, just telling lies was sufficient. They didn't actually have to kill a bunch of people to get things started.

It is easy to stoke the fears of the population. It takes much longer for the truth to come out, and it is always way too late.

Here is a more complete list of false flag operations over the centuries.

Where is your proof Israel is behind the chemical weapons attacks in Syria? Cali_Democrat Aug 2013 #27
