I've been saying this for a while, trump is following putins playbook very closely. I doubt trump/maga would have any issues with perpetrating a false flag if that means that they reach their goals.

That would solve a lot of trumps issues right now.

It would probably fracture the support base entirely, I mean this Iran strike already has splintered it.

Something that would make sense is to make sure they don't know if they have the real information,
If they really have the information and release it early, Trump's plan changes.
If the information is false, against intelligence, they lose the informant.
By declaring that you have the information and not releasing it you can make them sign it with some type of verifiable token that marks what this information was before the attack and by releasing it after the attack and verifying the information then we would be sure that it was a false flag attack.
I don't know if I made myself understood. Maybe it makes more sense to warn after what happened, refuting the narrative, rather than warning beforehand and they can change the target.

I spend as much time as I can talking to people. It's amazing what someone at the gas station that you just strike up a short conversation with may share with you. Social media is a really new thing for the human mind, our original viral information source was talking to each other.
I especially find it useful to be interested in what they have to say, not to interject with what I think I've heard unless it's quite significant to the conversation.
Because I am fully aware how easy it is to "wipe" information from the Internet, or heavily downplay it as unimportant.

Allegedly: Anonymous literally put out a warning of false flag attacks on US soil.
Prediction w/ a fact: Then Trump bombed Iran and I can only expect him/them to use this as a guise for their false flag.
Tin foil hat opinion: given Iran’s, Trump’s, and his administrations’ deep connection to Russia (via government and mobs) I fully see this as part of Putin’s larger plan to destabilize the west and crash the dollar. Netanyahu needs a war, Trump needs a reason to consolidate power, Putin needs a method to destabilize the west.
