We know. Kegseth said Iran was going to attack California.

Was about to post the same thing. Looks like California is their go-to when it comes to false flag.

Edit: it's pretty much certain it won't happen during World Cup as it is organized by friends of trump, but any events that this admin doesn't like should be on their feet.

man the right wing really can't stand California and our awful American Psycho governor is probably in on it.

The idea that this sloppy white house could successfully orchestrate a coverup immediately discredits this

Oh, it's gonna be as obvious as Epstein's "suicide". They don't care about being believed.

Look I'm just saying called it before it happened.

I'll go more specific.

Shahed drones, smuggled into and launched from Alberta, hit Spokane or even Seattle.

And he won't blame it on Iran, but Antifa, funded by Iran. He'll relate it to Hezbollah, and call Antifa an Iranian cell.

And the target... The targets gotta be bigger and better than the trade towers. A real tear jerker.

No, too many eyes on it. Not nearly enough casualties. But... A good landmark.

If I was going to create a false flag bigger than 9/11, I'd need it to be both visually horrifying, and larger number of victims, preferably white people, sick people, and children.

To go with the propaganda of the pretense to invade Iran, it doesn't really matter what the delivery mechanism is, but I would be willing to bet a tiny nuke would be used. Most likely a W76-2 or but a W80 warhead at most. thats 5-150 kton yield.

Boom. You get all the propaganda you need.

Trump and his cronies are planning a false flag attack to try to drum up support for their incredibly unpopular and unjustifiable war? Big if true.

This time there will be more than just fire fighters dying for a fake ear wound.

I saw this show up in Ground News but every single news site attached to the story had "Mixed" factuality.

Will we at least make some Israelis dance for the occasion this time though? That damn smile always gets us.
