I really hate the throwing around of the term “false flag.” I’ve heard it applied to the Boston bombing, Newtown—a lot—and now, the Syria gas attacks.
In addition to being ignorant and cynical in a teenager-at-the-breakfast-table sort of way, it is an egregious insult to the soldiers and first responders who deal with foreign and domestic horrors on the ground, journalists who risk their lives reporting violence, and of course the grieving loved ones of innocent victims of terrorism and mass shootings.
Does the Alex Jones crowd really believe their vast conspiracies involve inconsolable parents, sheriffs and police officers, GIs and guardsmen, journalists, community witnesses, local and federal investigators, lawyers, psychologists, social workers, etc, etc—with not one whistleblower among the vast legions of deep state lackeys ever spilling the “truth” about what really happened?
Do these keyword-banging paranoiacs, safe in their suburban homes, understand what it is to have their families, neighborhoods or towns rocked by violence of the sort perpetrated in Syria and Newtown?
It’s easy, when you’re comfortable and safe, to flippantly dismiss the sufferings and labors of those who do the hard work of propping up civilization.
But who cares, amirite? You’ve got some guns locked away in that cabinet over there.
Seriously though, enough with the false flag bullshit.
