False Flag 101........................from Rico

Consider this an introduction to the topic of "false flags" where governments fake events for their own purposes.

- Yes, they LIE to their own people to get something they want.

 

Any serious student of history can recite the names Gleiwitz, Mukden, the Reichstag fire, the massacre at Katyn forest, or the Gulf of Tonkin incident AND know what they meant, why it was done, and who really did it as opposed to who was blamed for it.*

- These are all FACTS that have been now established over time, and disprove the lies that were initially told.

 

These are only five examples, but there are over thirty more like this from recent history.

- How many can you recite?

 

*Gleiwitz was staged by the Nazi regime as an excuse to invade Poland, Mukden was staged by the Empire of Japan as an excuse to invade China, the Reichstag fire was set by the Nazis as an excuse to seize control of the German government, the Russians murdered Polish officers at Katyn and blamed it on the Germans while using it to eliminate opposition to their planned occupation of Poland, and the Gulf of Tonkin incident never took place but was fabricated as an excuse for the US to go to war in the former French Indochina.

 

Now do you see WHY it is so important for government to (not) teach history under 'common core?'
