Will someone please explain to me how a false flag mass shooting occurs? Are you suggesting an 18 year old is actually a government agent who is enlisted to shoot up a bunch of grocery shoppers? Is he just pretending to be 18? Are the shoppers fake and the whole thing staged or does this person actually go and murder a bunch of people, get arrested, go through a fake show trial and then get released back to his duties when everyone thinks he’s in jail? Or is the false flag claim one where a bunch of FBI guys target some disaffected kid and encourage him to commit violence against some unsuspecting soft target that they know will discredit any dissidents?
Many have chimed in on this, so I'll try to keep mine short:
Don't think in terms of 'recruitment'.
As in: a person was interviewed, trained and then given specific orders.
Think in terms of 'influence'.
As in:
You recognize somebody who'd be likely to do something given the right stimuli.
You give them that stimuli.
They then do that thing and you utilize it to your advantage.
When you start thinking like that, and start considering the resources on hand of any state actor: you start to conceive of unlimited possibilities.
