      That’s exactly what it means.

      A false flag operation is an act committed with the intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and pinning blame on another party. The term “false flag” originated in the 16th century as an expression meaning an intentional misrepresentation of someone’s allegiance.

            Hi!
            I want to remind you all to keep the discussions civilized! If this repeats we are forced to remove uncivilized comments.
            Thanks!

              That wasn’t uncivil. The user behaved in a confused manner much like one would when inebriated. If that were the case then you handle a drunk person differently than a sober one.
