Coincidences are wonderful things and I regularly give thanks to the fickle whims of serendipity . So this morning as work required me to be awake at a time I consider far too early for an Easter Saturday, I was presented with three unconnected articles which wonderfully answered a question I’ve often asked myself.
“Why aren’t deniable/false flag activities more common?”
After all for tarnishing reputations or spreading a bit of dirt they should be the easiest things in the world to carry out, a few trouble makers at a demo and the media can dismiss the entire thing. Free throw away websites or journals and anything can be made public. It really shouldn’t tax anyone’s brains too much.
So it seems that according to an updated journal on the New York Times, that “agent provocateurs” were indeed in play at the G20 protests until challenged at which point they appear to have readily revealed themselves. Following on from this there is the developing story concerning Iain Dale and Guido Fawkes regarding a deniable website that the powers that be “considered” setting up to do their dirty work. What both these stories show is that whilst such activities should be simple they remain beyond the competence of at least part of our current regime. The G20 incident due to the official mendicant having more ID on them than even a normally cautious protester, and cutting and running far too quickly and for the website story it’s yet more proof that groups of people (especially in government) can’t keep secrets and that they still haven’t learnt about the dangers of paper trails.
So the answer to my question is that out with specialist groups that make such matters their business, there simply isn’t the competence to carry out such simple tasks (something all the failed IT projects in Government should have tipped me off about really). This lack of competence is also why there probably isn’t a conspiracy. Which is quite cheering really.
Some what unrelated: From comments on Guido’s journal by Joe Gormley’s Grandson I’m now aware of http://www.newssniffer.co.uk/ which lets you track how news stories change on line over time within the same article.
