I don't even know if false flags would work anymore. The comments under every attack they try to blame Iran is filled with people calling it a false flag or blaming mossad.

Those in power can't really capture the media the way they used to, nobody watches the news, anymore, nobody even listens to what the government has to say.

I didn't even watch Biden speaking until like his last state of the union only to watch how fried his brain was.

I don't think people will be as easily fooled as they have been in the past, they might have a monopoly on mainstream media but there are plenty of independent sources that are much more easily accessible than they were 20 years ago thanks to technology.
