Is It a “False Flag” If They Tell You?
Historically, people who want to overthrow a government usually try to hide it.
For those who have been asking, as of right now, I don’t know if and when the trial with Mike Flynn will begin. It is still scheduled to start jury selection this Friday, but Flynn’s lawyers made yet another move to delay the trial today because he says he’s super busy—even though this court date has been set for weeks.
It’s just theater of the cowardly. Mike Flynn will never face me in court—because despite his big talk, he’s terrified of the truth. DefendSpeechNow.org if you’d like to help me call his bluff.
Widening the lens, as I watch this regime, and study the historical precedents, it’s impossible not to see a pattern with a pre-determined ending; all of the pieces are in place.
If Trump and Stephen Miller play by the historical script, it will look like some version of this—the most obvious and telegraphed false flag in world history:
Aggressive federal agents and right-wing provocateurs increasingly abuse and agitate peaceful protesters around ICE facilities in blue cities
ICE and CBP escalate daylight assaults and kidnappings of brown people from peaceful neighborhoods and workplaces
Shows of force like Blackhawk drops, park sweeps, and street marches get more garish
Inevitably, this hybrid warfare assault gives rise to a violent incident
The government’s real-time media team immediately captures it on video
Content is produced and the violence is blamed on “Antifa-related” groups
DHS and FBI produce “evidence” to support this conclusion in real time
Trump continues to stoke the situation and puts pressure on the mayors/governors to invite troops in
When officials refuse, Trump invokes the Insurrection Act and sends in National Guard
The governor sues, contesting the validity of the “insurrection”
A federal court puts a restraining order on the government which is openly ignored by Trump
“I will let the Supreme Court decide”
Or, Trump rushes the case to the emergency docket
SCOTUS overturns the lower court ruling and allows the occupation of cities to continue
Protests erupt. Trump declares martial law in specific cities, and sends in Marines and 82nd Airborne to “control” the situation
Protests erupt in other states—which Trump uses to declare a murky “national martial law” and suspends habeas corpus to “break the back of the radical left terrorists”
With no constitutional limits remaining, Trump has Kash Patel begin to arrest his political enemies systematically—Comey, Schiff, Hillary Clinton, etc.
The Democratic Party itself is “investigated” under NSPM-7 as part of the “terrorist network that torched America’s cities”
The leadership of the Democratic Party is charged with aiding and abetting insurrection and arrested, along with an increasing number of politicians Trump just doesn’t like
More protests and violence erupt. Trump announces the entire Democratic party is a terrorist organization and makes it illegal
After this point, only a violent revolution or a military coup has a chance to change the government because everyone in the government is a traitor to the Constitution they swore to protect. There is no going back.
The good news is there are still a number of difficult steps in this chain of events—but none of them are beyond the range of this regime.
Below is a minute-long collage of various government propaganda from Tuesday, just to give the breadth of how fully produced this false flag already is.
It includes Kristi Noem on another rooftop sniper perch in Portland “facing off against Antifa” (which is about 10 people total, including a chicken), a christofascist ICE video, and Russian propagandist Benny Johnson arriving at the Portland airport. In Chicago, an American citizen was carjacked and thrown into a van for having a Mexican flag on her car. And in the Oval, Trump was asked about his plans to invoke the Insurrection Act:
“Well, it’s been invoked before, as you know. If the governor can’t do the job, we’ll do the job.”
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, one of the most irredeemably corrupt politicians in modern American history, also announced this today—a full-scale operation to destroy a completely made up threat:
“BREAKING: I’m launching undercover operations to infiltrate and uproot leftist terror cells in Texas.
Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. There can be no compromise with those who want us dead.”
“Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture… a leftist assassin connected to the radical transgender movement murdered Charlie Kirk… use all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt and dismantle… Antifa.”
Paxton’s press release references Donald Trump’s Executive Order designating the non-existent “Antifa” as a “terrorist network” and adopts the language of NSPM-7 “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence” which allows the federal government to investigate “Antifa-related” activities.
These moves are not random; and they are not merely performative. Ken Paxton has already legally targeted Beto O’Rourke’s group and there is no reason to think he won’t follow through with trying to hunt down “Antifa” as a test of the larger project of creating a one-party dictatorship.
Expect more red states to follow Paxton’s lead, with AGs competing to see how many “radical leftists” they can lay at Stephen Miller’s feet as offerings to the mad king. Kash Patel has already expanded implementation of NSPM-7 through the FBI Threat Screening Center and warned Democrats Tuesday that “accountability is coming.”
A false flag operation is an act committed with the intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and pinning blame on another party.
We are, without a doubt, watching the regime attempt to create violence in U.S. cities, so it can pin the blame on the Democratic Party—and seize permanent power. But the government isn’t “disguising the actual source of responsibility”; it’s just ignoring that part. I don’t know what kind of flag this is but it certainly isn’t American.

I still feel helpless, Jim, knowing what you've written here is nothing but the truth. Portland's protesters been very good at following guidelines and curfew's. Showing up in Chicken and Frog costumes too🤣 It will be at trump's be hence if there's any escalation, and of course his DHS,ICE, National Guard and god knows who else?!! Thank you for checking in this evening, and will reStack ASAP 🙏
I appreciate you good you are at putting the pieces together that lead to Trump declaring martial law (or something that gives him the military control he desires).
But you leave out the non-violent response available to the rest of us (and already in evidence at airports where air traffic controllers aren’t showing up for work): a National Strike. All we need to do is stop spending money / cancel subscriptions to (now right wing) Paramount / CBS and other actions (like not showing up for work) and, I believe, we will collapse this attempted takeover of our country without firing a shot.
Just my 2 cents.
