“Hurrah” stage requires U.S. rush to judgment
…In many ways, elaborate false flag operations resemble the core stages of a confidence game or swindle. First there is foundation work and preparations laid for the scheme. Then comes build-up aimed at sucking in the victim or mark. The “hurrah” is the sudden crisis that compels that mark to act�and possibly lose everything. Since 1996, the neoconservative vanguard of the Israel lobby, in a strategy paper written for Benjamin Netanyahu, has urged a “foundation” of select military strikes on Syria. AIPAC and other Israeli fronts then worked to successfully pass the Syria Accountability Act which cut off all US trade and diplomatic ties in 2003. Israel has recently conducted its own military strikes as a “build-up” and to compel the U.S. to get “skin in the game.” The “hurrah” stage may be the video saturation of dead children, women and men and media bombast that only the U.S. can respond because there is simply no time to waste. Since western audiences are demonstrably not very shrewd, it is likely that if this is an Israeli false flag, no “corroboration” stage of compelling (yet false) evidence is even necessary, though Israeli intelligence stands ready to provide it. Given Israeli interests, that such evidence is considered credible by the West is staggering.
Speed has always been essential in past false flag operations. The mark�Americans�must be compelled to act quickly after “the Hurrah” but before the story unwinds. In the case of Operation Susannah, charred dead U.S. Information Agency employees likely would have been splashed across the front pages of the Washington Post and The New York Times as outraged commentators demanded the permanent U.S. military occupation of the Suez Canal Zone�if only Israel’s bombs had gone off when they were supposed to. Similarly, the outrage of the sinking of an innocent U.S. ship and gunning of lifeboats by unmarked Egyptian planes would have triggered orchestrated chants to “Remember the USS Liberty” and American sympathy with Israel’s unilateral expansion of its “security zone.” Unfortunately for Israel, Operation Susannah bombs went off too soon and the USS Liberty crew managed to keep it afloat (with absolutely no thanks to LBJ.)…More
