Raising the Flag of False Flags | Philip A. Farruggio



Philip A. Farruggio -- World News Trust

April 26, 2015

Each morning I walk throughout my quiet neighborhood here in Central Florida noticing more and more homes with giant U.S. flags hanging from the garage tops.

Occasionally, if I know the neighbor with the flag, I ask what is the reason he or she keeps it up so long. The answer is always the same: "To support our troops in the Middle East and the war on terror." It is thus useless to conduct a debate, as most of these folks happen to be senior citizens even older than me, the baby boomer.

And, if for some reason the neighbor hanging the sign happens to be a man or woman younger than yours truly, chances are any forthcoming "conversation" will get testy to say the least. Having stood weekly on street corners in my town with anti phony war signs for 10 years can attest to that fact. The propaganda sadly does run that deep!

So many Americans really do not have a correct sense of history. When this writer uses Nazi Germany as an example of an "empire on steroids" and compares it to our own, the critics go wild.

"How can you dare compare what the Nazis did to what our country is doing or done?" Well, let's take a look back at then and now.
