What is a "false flag?"
<|assistant|>
A false flag is a covert operation in which someone tries to pass off someone else's work or actions as their own. It can be used to hide the true origin of something or to divert attention from another cause. Examples of false flag operations include governments setting off explosions and then blaming them on other groups in order to justify invasion, war or cracking down on the citizenry.
