Can I get this off my chest? I really, really, really can't stand false flaggers.

They're jumping on the Syrian chemical attacks now, claiming it was staged. It's showing up on my Facebook page.

I wonder what percentage of the false flag crowd have an agenda versus those who are just plain crazy or pathetically gullible?

by many people, it's a strategy. Being set-up is common. I don't know that false flag is any different but the phrase has been way over-played.
