Is this chart true for false flags throughout history? What are

That pic seems like something someone brewed up on /pol/ to bait whenever something bad happens. The earnest answer is that we don't have enough false flags to work off of to establish a formula. There have only really been false flags and mass media since the Second World War.

No.

A false flags about hegelian synthesizing predetermined outcomes through manipulated or planted first flag occurances.

As a journalist, I can say that this is bullshit spouted by people who have no idea how journalists do their job.

Usually the most effective way to recognize a false flag is by examining who benefits. It's a rule of nature that people do things that benefit themselves, and often they hurt others in the process. But one must also consider that for small-scale happenings, it could just as likely be the product of mental illness/vengeance/bad behavior. These are also real feelings that exist.

For instance: Erdogan coup - false flag. Newtown shooting - mental illness. WMD's in Iraq - false flag. Gulf of Tonkin incident - false flag. 9/11 - real happening.

If something happens that allows a nation to pursue its national interest in a politically tenable way, or if something happens that allows a political ingroup to seize more power, you can bet that it's a false flag. The more corrupt a country is (Russia/China/Middle East/3rd world) the more likely the government will manipulate controlled opposition to get what it wants.

"How many people would need to be in on the secret?" That's a very important question, since it alone defeats most retarded conspiracy theories.

No. If false flags had a clear pattern, they wouldn't work in the first place.

I think good general guidlines would be:

1. How authentic does the official story sound?
2. How beneficial it is for the conspirator?

just enough to uphold whatever amount of violence is required towards the completion of aim, any more and you enter the realms of disposable. the accounting equivalent would be contracting off your bad debts at 50c on the dollar
