While Independent Media readers understand the difference between a false flag operation and a hoax, it was brought to my attention by a social media follower, that not everyone does know the difference, so we’ll start there on the off chance that someone who does not understand the difference is reading this.

In simplistic terms, a hoax is a claim of an event or events that never really happened, and a false flag is an act orchestrated in a manner that makes it appear to have been carried out by a party that was not responsible.

With that out of the way, conditions across the globe, wars, nuclear saber-rattling, the economy, both internationally and nationally,  are all events that leave America ripe for a false flag event geared to “unite” Americans against a common enemy.
