Captain May advocates antisemitism, holocaust denial, numerology, frequent warnings of another 9/11 attack, and accusations of COINTELPRO against legitimate 9/11 researchers frequently with dubious misinformation and often no evidence at all.

Does the crying wolf crowd never get tired, or is it that profitable?

Also, has there ever been a list generated around here of False Flag ops that proved true? If the answer is "no" (as I suspect from the tone of the participants), then why even accept 'false flag' as real at all?

Well, there is the Reichstag Fire, and the South Manchuria Railway Incident. You could include Gulf of Tonkin, but that isn't so much false flag as twisted hyperbole.

I would have included the USS Liberty Incident, Pearl Harbor, and quite a few more.

To be a false-flag operation, the acts have to be blamed on a party other than the one that perpetrated the attack. In both cases cited above, the attacks were never blamed on another party.
There is also Operation Ajax and the Levon Affair.

Hmmm, OK then, but certainly these qualify in the 'spirit' of false flag - or is there another term for this that's escaping me? Aside from 'lying' which governments claim they NEVER do.

Could Iran's leader be involved in a 'Bigger' Picture' false flag event arranged between the US and Iran to start a war for unknown reasons. Are we all just an audience?
The article explains that Congress passed the Sixteenth Amendment to the Consitution, which allows for the implementation of personal income tax, on February 3, 1913, and chose March 1 of the following year as the filing deadline. The deadline was changed to March 15 in 1918, and, as we learned at Tax History Project, to April 15 in 1955. Moving back the date from the end of the tax year served two purposes -- it gave the IRS more time to handle the work and, more importantly, more time to hang on to your money before issuing you a refund.

Disbelieving the possibility that brown-skinned people of Persian descent could, would, and are willing to kill white people or launch terrorist attacks, or any attacks, against American assets is racism, pure and simple.

Yet, people keep listening to them. Obviously, their credibility is not at risk, because people like you keep listening, think their predictions are "do some good" whether they are true or not.
