Falsi-flying, Flag Wavering: Psych-Ops Cont'd

False "False Flags": The ones that aren't really the type of "false flag" operations we are concerning ourselves with here today but are a topic of importance in their own right, as having influence in the outcome of a competition, "Games", or other type of mission. These range from individual Olympic competitors competing under another flag other than the one they were born under (some of which reaped not only medals but great profits as in the case of Ms. Gu), to those whose flag itself (nominally -- "in name only"), such as the "ROC" was changed in order to take our attention away from previous misdeeds ("cheating", "doping"...sanctions), to marrying another 'flag' (citizen) in order to gain entry into another country, a "Green Card", eventual citizenship...to an official who carries a flag and has the authority to 'flag' a player for an infraction, picks up a flag that was either inadvertently or falsely thrown, announcing to the assembled crowd and everyone in TV land, "there was no flag on the play...". There are surely others you can think of; I offer you just a few that are not part of today's focus, in order that you might not get distracted from the main event, the real intent. That's the point of all this, after all...

Casting Doubt, Wreaking Havoc, Reaping Profits: Achieved in part by Psych-Ops, including the long-held military, industrial, and even closer-to-home domestic (such as siblings, marital) strategy of waving a "false flag". In days of old, in its inception, pirates on the seas hoisted a flag of a neutral or enemy country in order to hide its true identity, to lure ships closer before going on the attack. And has come to include "the misuse of an identity or motive, to disguise the identity of a military or party on the aggressive, in order to gain the advantage..." And even "an act committed with intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and pinning it on another party..." Aligned with such terms as "frame up" or "set up". Combined, it's no surprise we get distracted, many times miss what's really going on around here, with so any flags unfurled, waving at us, flapping in the breeze, engaging almost all our senses, an attempt to make us believe what they are about to do, or having already done, is...at least semi-sensible. 

Foreign and Domestic, then and now: As in 2008, when Russia unleashed an aggressive action on its neighbor, Georgia, "in order to protect its citizens from Georgia attacks", to a few days ago, "we are trying to discern the true intent of the (Russian) military exercises on the Ukranian border", and including the now popular reference to the presence on Nazis!, as a partial explanation and/or justification of such actions: "Among other allegations, justifications for invading Ukraine, Putin cited the demilitarization and denazification..." If you have seen the images of common citizens taking up arms in an attempt to slow the advance of the Russian tanks, you have to wonder how Vladimir defines "militarization". Couple this with the fact that the current president of Ukraine is Jewish, that he had relatives that were true victims of Nazism in the holocaust, and you get a glimpse of the Russian president's unwavering use of waving "false flags", creating a pretext (key word in false flag lexicon, one we have heard repeatedly in the current operation) for acting in the predetermined manner, AGGRESSIVELY. We see it all the time, around here as well, as part of the U.S. history, and even closer to home as in...

"Best Defense is a strong Offense" Not just in the NFL, but throughout history, overseas, here at home, and even around the home. Strategic principles of war (including "War of the Roses"), things we may find 'offensive' are strategically exploited to 'move the ball down the field', to gain the advantage, defeat the opposition. Sometimes operating under the "false banner" of proactive -- stated nicely, nicely stated, almost as if well-intended, "Instead of a passive attitude, will preoccupy the opposition and ultimately hinder its ability to mount an opposing counterattack, leading to a strategic advantage..." While we are witnessing the disastrous consequences of such strateg(ies) being waged by Putin and Company against the vastly outnumbered and ill-equipped sovereignty of Ukraine ("sovereign" for how long? we all ask), here at home, as in my office, I offer you again the sad cases of divorce as an action that wreaks havoc in families, one that often involves Psych-Ops, including the waving of false flags (see yesterday's post for additional apps of this Op, in this case): where Party/Spouse #1 has been threatening the action of divorce repeatedly (with or without children, in front of the public or behind the scenes), after which Spouse #2 finally resigns, resolves to visit an attorney, if only to identify their rights, prepare for the worst...once discovered by Party#1, the 'true aggressor', hoists the flag, "look, they're filing for divorce; they're leaving me!" Happens every day. Waving such flags, doing something unconscientious, while easing their own conscience. The inception of a strategy, the execution of which has many iterations, but pretty much follow a predictable sequence, if not outcome...

Victimization, Vilification, Justification, Vindication (?): As we throughout the world, especially those in and around Ukraine try in vain to fully capture the mindset of the true aggressor, in order to best prepare and even offset his next moves, if you follow the history and the narrative, how Mr. Putin and others closely aligned, being once part of the "Great Union", which he witnessed become marginalized, demoralized (key parts in "victimology", 3/6/21 here), not only long for how things once were, but feel it is their most basic obligation to carry out such a relentless campaign ("legacy", another word we hear daily now), you can see how the results (at least in their minds) can and will be completely justified, without compunction. No guilt, no apologies. As much of the "free world" seeks nullification.
