Beware the Black Flag

By Brian Parsons

 

Buried in the archives of George Washington University are declassified documents presented to John F. Kennedy by the head of the chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in March of 1962, sixty years ago this month.  The contents of these documents, codenamed Operation Northwoods, detail a proposal for the United States government to dress up agitators as Cubans and then commit a series of terror attacks in Miami and Washington, D.C. as a pretext to justify war with the Castro regime in Cuba.  Fortunately, President Kennedy rejected this proposal, and JCS chairman Lyman Lemnitzer was subsequently relieved of his post.  Unfortunately, General Lemnitzer would go on to head up NATO for the U.S. throughout the duration of the Vietnam War.

Casus belli is a Latin term that, literally translated, means a case for war.  Under the Just War Theory of St. Augustine, Christians subscribe to certain conditions that must be met to make a case for righteous warfare.  Just War Theory largely permits warfare in defense of oneself or the defenseless, and those who make war are keenly aware of this.  This is the reason why those who desire war must often shift public sentiment in their favor by enacting subversive schemes.  This practice of creating a political or military action with the intention of blaming an opponent is known as a false flag or black flag event.

A recent black flag event that you may be aware of is the attack in Douma, Syria in 2018.  In the waning days of the Syrian Civil War, Bashar Assad inexplicably gassed his own people with chemical weapons in the city of Douma.  Within hours, anti-Assad forces were calling this an act of a maniacal dictator and demanding the removal of Assad from Damascus, the stated number-one priority should Hillary Clinton have been elected in 2016.  The characterization of the Douma attack in the Western press made little sense.  Assad is a physician by trade, so at least in that regard, he is not a stupid person.  By the time this chemical attack happened, Assad had largely won the war.  Gassing his own people only served to galvanize the international community against him and resultingly get bombed by the West.
