      Would a false flag attack work if the majority of Americans see through the shit we’re already doing in Iran? This might split the country even further among party lines at worst.

        I’m not sure how effective it would be. I guess it depends on who believes their bullshit. If they have the military industrial complex firmly behind their grift, maybe they’ll just say to hell with the rest of us. I’ve believed we’re unavoidably headed for civil war since at least 2016, and nothing that’s happened since has changed my mind on that.

        I’m now seeing headlines about heightened security at the Oscars. I’m split on whether they’re going to try shooting a celebrity to start riling people up for a ground invasion versus using this as an excuse to ramp up the panopticon. Either one is bad news.
