  • I think so…

    The attack wasn’t the “false flag” (I think I misused that term), that was going to happen anyway. I think adding a journalist to their little group chat about it was.

    They knew it would come out, and now they have the pretext to start going more aggresively after journalists spreading “deceitful” information.

    I’m not saying I’m right, it just stinks.

    I’m not usually an alarmist, but this one has the hair on the back of my neck up…

    This feels like a false flag to target journalists spreading “misinformation.”

    I was reading the Atlantic article thinking 'What a bunch of dumb fucks." Until I read this part:

    The Hegseth message goes on to state, “Waiting a few weeks or a month does not fundamentally change the calculus. 2 immediate risks on waiting: 1) this leaks, and we look indecisive

    Hard stop right there. “This is intentional.”

    Then Tulsi comes out talking about “aggressively pursuing” journalists., and now P Heggs is just gonna play dumb?

    Smells pretty bad, imo.

    (False flag may not be the right term here, but I hope my point is still clear enough)
