FF023 - The State's Oldest Trick: Historical False Flags

Today we're exposing the state's oldest trick: the false flag operation. This isn't conspiracy theory — this is documented history showing how governments manufacture crises to justify expanding their power and control over peaceful people.

Documented Cases

• Operation Northwoods (1962): Drafted plans to stage terror and blame Cuba; declassified in 1997. Kennedy rejected it.
• Gulf of Tonkin (1964): Declassified NSA docs confirm the “second attack” never happened; used to escalate Vietnam.
• Operation Gladio (1940s–1990s): Stay-behind networks tied to terror in Europe (e.g., Bologna, 1980) to blame the left and expand state control.
• Reichstag Fire (1933): Crisis exploited to suspend civil liberties and crush opposition; classic fear-to-power consolidation.
• USS Maine (1898): Subsequent investigations point to an internal blast; “Remember the Maine” drove war fever and empire.

The Evergreen Pattern
1) Problem — real, manufactured, or allowed to happen
2) Reaction — public panic: “Do something!”
3) Solution — pre-written power grabs, surveillance, and spending

Teaser (kept safe): Pearl Harbor and 9/11 both produced immediate, sweeping expansions of federal power. Serious questions about foreknowledge and failures persist in public discourse — and regardless of cause, both crises were used to transform America in ways that required catastrophe first.

Why it works

• Authorities are trusted most during crisis.
• Questioners are smeared as “unpatriotic.”
• Media amplifies official narratives, rarely investigates.
• Normalcy bias — most people can’t imagine state malfeasance.

AnCap Lens
The state protects itself first. Ask: Cui bono? What new powers are requested? What rights are “temporarily” suspended? What’s the regime’s honesty track record?

Solutions

• Build voluntary alternatives: private security, arbitration, insurance.
• Use markets and reputation systems over coercion.
• Resist emergency creep: demand sunsets, transparency, audits.

The state manufactures or exploits crises to justify its existence. Your job is to make it irrelevant through peaceful, voluntary cooperation.
