A Warning on the Brink of False and Green Flag Operations
Escalating Tensions: Alleged Deceptive Military Action Looming in Straits of Hormuz
Hey there! Let's have a chat about some serious stuff happening in the world, shall we? Matt Bracken from SteelCutter.substack.com has raised some alarming points about potential false flag or green flag operations that could escalate tensions between the US and Iran, potentially leading to a disastrous war.
Bracken points out that if a US naval ship were to be sunk in the Strait of Hormuz, it would cause global oil shipping to grind to a halt, triggering a worldwide economic crash. To reopen the strait, the US Navy might be compelled to interfere, risking the loss of ships.
But, how do we deter hidden truck-launched mobile anti-ship missiles across vast territories? Is it realistic to launch a ground invasion of Iran? Consider the sheer scale – the area would be a hundred times larger than Okinawa and Iwo Jima, and our military today is not as powerful as during WWII. It's ludicrous to even consider it.
Some might wonder if Trump would send ships into harm's way, only to be attacked and possibly sunk, to provoke war. History shows us that great powers have indeed used such strategies to drag other nations into conflicts. They may do it for the greater good, believing it saves more lives than those lost.
But what about false flag operations? You know, covert actions designed to deceive to make it appear that another party is responsible for an attack? Some believe that the Israeli attack on the Liberty in 1967 was intended to be blamed on the Egyptians, but fortunately, the Liberty didn't sink. The crew managed to save the ship, albeit with heavy casualties.
Or, there's the concept of green flag operations, when political shot-callers know an enemy attack is coming and let it play out, relying on the resulting outrage to galvanize support for war. Some believe that Pearl Harbor and October 7 might have been green flag operations, as well as 9-11.
Bracken is concerned about another false flag or green flag operation being concocted to provoke outrage in America, pushing the US towards a full-scale war against Iran. It would be an absolute catastrophe, but the neocons might finally get their wish.
Remember, awareness of historical false flag operations is crucial for understanding how potential conflicts might be framed or manipulated in the future. Let's hope that cooler heads will prevail, and we won't witness another tragic episode in human history.
Oh, and here's a little trivia. In World War I, the German cruiser SMS Cap Trafalgar disguised itself as the British HMS Carmania to attack the actual Carmania off Brazil's coast. In Mukden Incident in 1931, Japanese troops orchestrated an explosion near the South Manchurian Railway and blamed Chinese forces, justifying invasion of Manchuria. And in Gleiwitz Incident in 1939, Nazi operatives dressed as Polish soldiers attacked a German outpost, providing Hitler a pretext to invade Poland and start World War II.

- In light of the ongoing political and military tensions between the US and Iran, it's important to remember past instances of policy-and-legislation manipulation through war-and-conflicts, such as false flag operations, as highlighted in "False Flag Economics: Deal or No Deal" by Hallinan and McDougal.
- As we navigate through general-news reports about potential false flag and green flag operations, understanding the strategic uses of deception, discussed in "The Art of Warfare: Military Deception Operations" by Lapierre and van der Kwaak, can help us better comprehend the complexities of politics and international relations.
