False flag is a well known tool of propagandists. Unfortunately it is so well known that its effects on disengaged populations is often the reverse of that intended.
The greater the apparent atrocities the stronger our resistance to such propaganda.
While some media imagery is undoubtedly contemporary many other images have no verified date, and as mentioned earlier on this thread, are often wholly contrived and irrelevant. Witness the B2s and X47 at Akrotiri or the Iraqi bodies from 10 years (?) previous.
No one has commented on my earlier observation of how clean and clear the streets are in the devastated areas which illustrate that there is civil control in the area. How old is that devastation?
