Peter - why would we allow the CIA to define the meaning of false flag?
Why would we limit the meaning of false flag to operations "not necessarily designed to fool the public, they are designed to fool a foreign intelligence service or its agents"?
The Gleiwitz incident was a classic false flag.
In that thread I wrote about Gleiwitz:

Given this was a Nazi propaganda scam, it's a wonder that it's not better known.
To be a cynic, perhaps it has to do with the fact that such tricks are played by any country which wants to persuade its population to back an otherwise unpopular war.
There are plenty of examples. However, one of my favourites is the "Saddam bayoneted my baby" scam, run by the Bush I regime's propagandists during the Kuwaiti prelude to the first Iraq War.
I stand by every word.
