There has been a lot of talk about “false flag operations” in the news lately as the war in Europe has exploded. However, it is important to remember the false flags of racism and white supremacy. According to one dictionary definition, a false flag operation is “a hostile or harmful action (such as an attack) that is designed to look like it was perpetrated by someone other than the person or group responsible for it.” One such racist false flag allegation was the charge that a Black man raped a white woman. The end result of the false accusation was a mob gathering that lynched or burned the accused before a cheering crowd of racist savages. This happened across Texas, especially in East Texas, when the false flag scheme was used. Often white girls and women would invent the charge when the community knew that it was a white man that committed the crime.
I can see the past, not with present eyes, but through the eyes of those who lived through white supremacist terror. Today, racist police officers, that are often protected by a racist police association, use false flag operations to arrest and murder innocent Black and Brown people. They will yell, “Stop and put your hands up” only for the suspect to comply and be killed any way. Black and Brown people were subjected to such treatment and it was done on a larger scale in the past. False flag newspaper reports which claimed that a white girl had been assaulted by a Black man were used to destroy the Black section of Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921. Also, Dallas newspaper editor Charles Pryor, used invented stories in 1860 to drive fear in the southern states to inflame calls for secession, known as the “Texas Troubles.” Pryor printed fake news stories about Blacks and Lincoln supporters setting Dallas on fire in 1860. Newspapers contributed to the murder of people of color in the form of lynching and burning Blacks alive at the stake in East Texas during the Jim Crow era. East Texas Newspapers, notorious for printing racist lies, were in many ways guilty of fanning the flames of racist fire eaters that were anxious for war given the election of Lincoln. The printed fake bombshell stories either called for violence or supported it.
There have been many instances of false flag operations including the “Gulf of Tonkin” false flag event designed to get the United States involved in the war in Vietnam. A false flag operation was used by Ronald Reagan to invade the tiny island of Grenada by making the false claim that American students were being threatened at the medical school. Hitler used the false flag trick by allowing his followers to burn the German Parliament building and then blaming it on the political left. False flag operations were used to murder Patrice Lumumba in the Congo by the CIA and others. False flag operations can be attributed to most nations on the earth. This game of thrones is not new.
Trump used the false flag that he won the election in order to get the rioters and white supremacists to attack the Capitol at the January 6th riot. The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, and his cronies, Dan Patrick for one, are using the false flag argument against African American Studies, Critical Race Theory, and books they don’t like to hype up the modern-day core of bigots. We know what they did in the past and can see the trash arguments of racists reappearing.
