False Flag Sequence

There is a standard sequence that is usually followed in a "false flag" event.

As soon as the attacks occur, reports begin coming in from the press. There is conflicting information. There were multiple shooters---no, there was just one shooter. The purported Sandy Hook shooter, Adam Lanza? His father was killed in New Jersey---no, his mother was killed in Connecticut.

These discrepancies and bizarre contradictions are pruned away and discarded by the press as quickly as possible, as the official line is brought front and center. The contradictions are buried as if they never existed.

There was a lone shooter. Period. In the majority of cases, he is dead. Shot by police, or he committed suicide. So he can't speak.

Even when the shooter, bomber etc. is arrested, we almost never hear from him again. He never makes a complete public statement. If there is a trial, he doesn't testify.

You can bet your bottom dollar James Holmes, the purported Colorado theater shooter, pictured above, would have had some very interesting comments to make, if he could have spoken freely. But no, he was hustled away to a psych ward, and that was that.

At law enforcement press conferences, the party line is emphasized: there was just one shooter, we know who he is, and he is dead (or in custody). Of course, the police or FBI spokespeople claim they are still investigating.

They throw that bone to the press and public: they're on the case doing their jobs. In Vegas, we are told the police are carrying out a thorough inquiry, in order to understand Stephen Braddock's motive for killing and maiming concert goers. No stone will be left unturned.

Now the press turns to the victim stories, with a few hero stories thrown in for good measure. Human interest. At the same time, we hear calls for unity and coming together. No one is sure what that means, but it doesn't matter. It sounds right.

At this point, political leaders launch their agendas. There is usually a demand for new gun control legislation, Killary Clinton for example. The leaders know, of course, that the weapon the supposed lone shooter used was already illegal and banned; or if not, criminals and terrorists are able to secure those weapons, regardless of any law. Only private law-abiding citizens, who see guns as a form of self-defense, would be stripped of that protection.

Until the last year or so of attacks in the US, there was a fictitious grieving period announced by the press. Candlelight vigils were played up. There were many photos of flowers and messages placed at the site of the crime. Now, apparently, the formal grieving is thought to be less important. The press needs a new story about another subject. The pace is faster.

That's the basic sequence. There are additions here and there, but that's the basic pattern.

One addition: If the government and the press see there may be a problem convincing the public that the official narrative is factual, the networks will send their national TV news anchors to the scene of the crime, as the story breaks, to cement the party line. The prestige of these anchors keeps viewers in their usual state of programming, hypnosis, light trance and acceptance.
